While I prefer iBooks for reading, if I were publishing and had to make that 
choice, I'd go with Amazon, given that Kindle readers are fairly widespread. 
Presumably that will change, but for now

The main purpose of the configuration file is to allow a site to configure the 
logging destination. The current logging all goes to stdout (which in the case 
of Fedora or RHEL, at least, is /dev/null for system-started daemons). The 
configuration file lets us log to files, rotating files, or syslog, local or 
remote.

The reason for named loggers is twofold. One is trivial: to identify the source 
of log messages. The other is not so trivial, but mainly for development: to 
let us have different log levels for different loggers. If I'm debugging URL 
rewrite, I can lower the level of the web2py.rewrite logger to (say) debug, 
without enabling all the other debug/info loggers in the system.

Note that having named loggers is a pretty trivial addition, once we have a 
config file; it's not central, but it's a distinct convenience.

Note also that we already have named loggers (eg Rocket and its kin), but no 
way to configure them.

Mostly for purposes of example. The web2py.foo loggers needn't appear in the 
config file; they can all use the web2py logger (I keep writing 'blogger'). 

The Rocket module is (I think) independent of web2py; if not, I'd have changed 
its logger (or asked Tim to do so) to something like 'web2py.rocket.*' (maybe 
we could pass a logger base name in to it).

Identifying the source of the log messages through the logger name is useful 
for more than human consumption. log levels is one use; another is choice of 
handler.

I'd have no objection to consolidating the startup-only loggers into 
'web2py.startup', though I think that a noisy logger (even if noisy only at 
startup) ought to have its own name.

 URL is either a helper or a string... The more I think about it the

Couldn't this be fixed by implementing URL.__radd__() ?

I think so, as long as the terms are clear. In particular, it should be clear 
how the experimental features would move to stable (perhaps just a time limit 
on the stress test, or some more specific condition).

Perhaps in going through an exercise like this, we could also think about 
something like it could be incorporated into the normal development cycle, on 
an ongoing basis rather than as a one-shot project.

The O'Reilly Hg book "Mercurial: The Definitive Guide" is a really good

I think it would be difficult, unless you explicitly translated known 
controller names. Which you could do...

We could translate incoming hyphens to underscores, I suppose, without too much 
effort, but we wouldn't know whether to reverse the translation on the outbound 
side.

Come the revolution (new rewrite logic), all things will be possible. But no 
promises on a schedule.

We *could* simply allow hyphens in controller names, without translation. We 
can't do that with functions, since they need to function as Python 
identifiers.

Are Python restrictions relevant for applications and controllers? Or just

It could be an option to URL, I suppose. I'm thinking that you wouldn't want to

My desk-check of IS_IMAGE suggested that it was OK, too. It could use a couple 
of documenting doctests, I think. 

You're deliberately restricting it to jpeg above, right? Hence the rejection of 
png?

Good catch. This is a case where a comment documenting the intent of this hunk 
of code would come in handy for those of us reading it. The error is cancelled 
under certain conditions, but what's the intent?

This stuff gets a little coverage in the book's deployment chapter, but it 
could use a systematic discussion.

What are the implication for web2py apps of http server policies, database 
locks (sqlite especially), session locking, the GIL, etc? With a section on 
best practices.

If you do that (without calling session.forget), what will happen in 
_try_store_on_disk when cPickle.dump(dict(self), response.session_file) is 
called with a None file argument? Or is cPickle.dump cool with that? Or am I

Thanks for that; I was wondering under which conditions unlocking might be 
permissible (and I'm still not entirely clear, but never mind for now).

My concern is this. Here's unlock:

def _unlock(self, response):
if response and response.session_file:
try:
portalocker.unlock(response.session_file)
response.session_file.close()
del response.session_file  <<<<<-
except: ### this should never happen but happens in Windows
pass

Now we save the session file:

def _try_store_on_disk(self, request, response):
if response._dbtable_and_field \
or not response.session_id \
or self._forget:
self._unlock(response)
return
if response.session_new:
# Tests if the session folder exists, if not, create it
session_folder = os.path.dirname(response.session_filename)
response.session_file = open(response.session_filename, 'wb')
portalocker.lock(response.session_file, portalocker.LOCK_EX)
cPickle.dump(dict(self), response.session_file)  
<<<<<<<<<
self._unlock(response)

But response.session_file is None at this point.

Try making a copy of logging.example.conf and naming it logging.conf, and see 
what happens.

I haven't done any testing with 2.7. Quite possibly if there isn't a 
logging.conf we ought to install an explicit default logger.

It should be in the root directory, as part of the distribution (it's a new

created. Massimo?

There may be two problems here. 

One is that the "no handlers" message may be normal, but shouldn't result in 
termination. So there may be a separate 2.7 issue that's causing you to 
terminate that has nothing to do with the message.

Try running this from the python command line:

>>> import logging
>>> l = logging.getLogger('foobar')
>>> l.warning('bar')
No handlers could be found for logger "foobar"
>>> 

This is 2.6.4 on OS X. We get the message, but no termination. How about 2.7?

A favor, please, Mart. In main.py, you'll find this logging init code:

logpath = os.path.join(web2py_path, "logging.conf")
if os.path.exists(logpath):
logging.config.fileConfig(os.path.join(web2py_path, "logging.conf"))
logger = logging.getLogger("web2py")



In the configuration that terminates for you (2.7 and no logging.conf, I 
believe), try adding an else clause to the above, thus:

logpath = os.path.join(web2py_path, "logging.conf")
if os.path.exists(logpath):
logging.config.fileConfig(os.path.join(web2py_path, "logging.conf"))
else:
logging.basicConfig()
logger = logging.getLogger("web2py")


Hopefully that will solve the termination problem, in which case we'll want 
that patch for 2.7 (and it should do no harm before that). I have to think it's 
a 2.7 bug, but who knows?

Also, Mart, can you try that python command-line test under 2.7?

Just for the record: the release will have logging.example.conf, which you'll 
need to copy to logging.conf to have it take effect.

But the change to main.py should give a (possibly) reasonable default in the 
absence of a logging.conf, as long as it's possible to write to stdout.

I'm suspicious of the cwd logic, too. But that's (maybe) a question for another 
day.

Thanks. I'll wait to hear from you.

It should look at the global routes_app first (because it doesn't know which 
app-specific routes to use), and if that resolves to an app that has its own 
routes file, then use that for routes_in.

I think I may see the problem. If I'm right, when we initialize a new set of 
params from the default set, we need to do a deeper copy than we're doing now.

Can I send you a replacement rewrite.py to try out? It'd be from the trunk, 
which ought to be equivalent, for our purposes, to the current nightly and 
close enough to the last stable release.

Here's an updated rewrite.py. Easier to follow, too, I think.

Massimo, you should probably hold up 1.84 until this gets resolved.

You'll need to define default_application in the app-specific routes file. I 
know that doesn't make a lot of sense; I'll look at changing that so that it 
shows up as the current app by default.

Let me know if that works.

OK, making the current app the default turned out to be pretty straightforward, 
and even if that's not the problem you're having, I think it makes sense to do. 
Here's the new rewrite.py:

OK. I'll take a closer look. It's helpful to know that it's getting 'index' in 
this case.

One final thing: what's your routes_app? Is http://domain.com/ resulting in 
my_app? Maybe you could send me, privately if you like, your global and my_app 
routes.py.

[web2py] rewrite.py patch

2010-08-31 Thread Jonathan Lundell
One more change to rewrite.py.

http://web.me.com/jlundell/filechute/rewrite.zip

I took out the custom logging logic, which was confusing, because now that we 
have generalized logging it's redundant.

However, there's a remaining problem to be resolved. Maybe.



[web2py] bug in app-specific routing

2010-09-01 Thread Jonathan Lundell
Massimo, it dawned on me (literally--I was lying in bed with the sun coming up) 
that we can't use the global rewrite.params to store the app-specific routing 
parameters because it's not thread-safe. Right?

But I can't think of where we *could* keep that info, given the places that 
need to use it.

So: help!

That structure exists, but where would appname come from (in general)? I think 
that's the same problem.

We could maybe stick it in request or response, but params is used a couple of 
places where that's not available. Maybe the environment that carries request 
and the other globals?

If request were always available, we could store the appropriate params link 
there as request.params.

Here's an example (not, I think, the only one):

streamer.stream_file_or_304_or_206() looks like this:

def stream_file_or_304_or_206(
static_file,
chunk_size = DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE,
request = None,
headers = {},
error_message = rewrite.params.error_message,
):

We could default error_message to None, and fill in the default 
programmatically, but it looks to me like we can't count on having request here.

Similarly, in rewrite.filter_out, the first thing we look for is 
params.routes_out, but can we count on any global context at all?

Not exactly, I don't think. That was fixed, afaik, by the default logger patch.

This is a bug in app-specific routing that we don't have a solution to yet. No 
problem if you're not using it, or if you have only one application running.

First of all, default_* doesn't really have anything to do with rewriting. I 
added them to routes.py as a convenience, to be able to override the default 
init/default/index logic that happens after all the routes_in is complete. I 
would recommend using routes_*  or default_*, but not both.

routes_app is the first thing we look at. It completely determines which 
routes.py (base or app-specific) we'll use for the entire request and response. 
If there's no routes_app, then we'll always use the base routes.py.

So the rule is actually pretty simple:

1. If routes_app produces an application name, and that application has its own 
routes.py, then use that app-specific routes.py. In all other cases, use the 
base routes.py. (This decision is final for the entire request.)

2. Using the routes.py determined in (1), apply routes_in to the URL. The best 
practice, in my view, is for routes_in to always product a complete URL 
(a/c/f/...).

3. If the URL does not have all three routing elements /a/c/f, complete it with 
default_* from the selected routes.py (defaulting in the code to 
/init/default/index if not overridden).

4. All subsequent rewriting (routes_out, error rewriting, etc) uses the 
routes.py selected in (1). 

Note that an app-specfic routes.py is all or nothing. If (1) selects an 
app-specific routes.py and that routes.py does not contain (say) a routes_out, 
we do *not* fall back on the base routes_out. Similarly for default_*.

You're welcome. 

A caveat: I don't believe that the current logic is thread-safe. Consequently, 
if you have simultaneous requests on different threads that use different 
routes.py files, one of them could end up using the wrong logic for some or all 
of its translations.

I intend to fix it, but I haven't figured out how yet. So if you're using 
multiple apps in production, I recommend sticking to the base routes.py for now.

My main web2py application is a manager for a collection of servers running my 
company's network services. The server API is xml-rpc, but I imagine that a 
RESTful API would work just as well. 

I have a local database for users, and another one that basically provides 
access info for the managed servers. The servers themselves I treat as a kind 
of distributed "database". Not that I try to do SQL or anything, but in that 
they store their own data, and I don't try to keep local copies of it (except 
for backup & restore, which is another matter).

It works quite well. I encapsulate each managed server in its own object, and 
use threads so that I can talk to a bunch of them in parallel when I need to.

I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

That's a strange error. Also, the syntax error on routes.py is on line 3, which 
is empty; there's no code until line 4.

My advice is to resolve the first error (Rocket) before worrying about the 
routes error.

...which leaves the mystery of the routes syntax error. 

I'd try it with the first three lines (two comments and blank line) removed, 
and see what happens.

I'd also carefully check routes.py for invisible garbage characters, perhaps 
from some word processor. Word's idea of a non-breaking space, for example. 

If possible, zip the routes.py that you're uploading to GAE, and send me a copy.

What I'm looking for is the file itself (preferably zipped). I'm wondering if

I don' t seen anything in line 3 that would cause a syntax error. (Notice that

[web2py] app-specific routing

2010-09-10 Thread Jonathan Lundell
Massimo has applied (after a false start on my part) the final portion of the 
app-specific routing patch. There are no API changes (unless you're directly 
looking at rewrite.params, in which case ask about the new interface), but the 
new code is thread-safe and should be good to go.

Have a look at the web2py book or at the comments in routes.example.py for 
general information on how to use the feature.

(This is not the next-gen URL-rewrite code, which is still a good intention 
merely. It's just the app-specific version of the existing URL-rewrite logic.)

Thank you. It looks OK.

Miguel, if I send you a small patch for rewrite.py, to add a little debugging, 
could you run it for me? 

What I have in mind (and feel free to do this for yourself if you like) is 
printing a hex dump of the relevant string, in the exception handler.

You could also try deleting the first three lines of routes.py (two comments 
and a blank line) to see if that makes any difference.

The patch would be something like this. Here's the stock code:

try:
routesfp = open(path, 'r')
exec routesfp.read() in symbols
routesfp.close()
logger.info('URL rewrite is on. configuration in %s' % path)
except SyntaxError, e:
routesfp.close()
logger.error('Your %s has a syntax error ' % path + \
  'Please fix it before you restart web2py\n' + \
  traceback.format_exc())
raise e


The debug code:

try:
routesfp = open(path, 'r')
routestring = routesfp.read()
exec routestring in symbols
routesfp.close()
logger.info('URL rewrite is on. configuration in %s' % path)
except SyntaxError, e:
routesfp.close()
hex = ""
for c in routestring:
hex += "0123456789abcdef"[ord(c)//16] + 
"0123456789abcdef"[ord(c)%16] + " "
logger.error('Your %s has a syntax error ' % path + \
  'Please fix it before you restart web2py\n' + \
  'File: %s\n' % hex + \
      traceback.format_exc())
raise e

Catching InvalidOperation was a fix we added a while back. So it's probably a 
version problem.

BTW, I notice that decimal.py is not locale-sensitive. The regex it's using to 
parse the number has a literal period in it, so no hope of a comma being 
accepted, at least not in 2.6 and earlier (I have no idea about later).

Massimo, I notice that there's no way to call IS_DECIMAL_IN_RANGE(None,None): 
that is, to ask for a decimal number without caring about min/max. That seems 
wrong to me.

...but this seems not to be true.

Same for IS_FLOAT_IN_RANGE.

Would you like a patch? I think we should also default min & max to None, so 
one can call eg IS_DECIMAL_IN_RANGE()(something), meaning 
IS_DECIMAL()(something).

The threading.local changes don't affect the API. My initial implementation of 
app-specific routes was not thread-safe; this one is.

The DAL was already thread-safe, but Massimo changed the relevant code to use 
threading.local.

OK, this took longer than it should have, largely thanks to Python's terse 
error messages.

The problem is that you're using DOS-style end-of-lines (\r\n) and the Python 
exec() statement, which is being used to compile routes.py, will not accept 
them. Hence the syntax error.

The quick fix: save the file with Unix-style newlines only (\n).

The longer-term fix: we need to read the file and remove carriage returns 
before calling exec.

There's a slight mystery: how does routes.py ever work on Windows? I have four 
theories:

1. Nobody ever uses routes.py on Windows
2. Everyone is saving routes.py with Unix newlines on Windows
3. read() on Windows Python strips \r by default
4. exec() on Windows Python tolerates \r

Not that it matters, particularly. The fix is to get rid of them.

Re: [web2py] Re: Routes.py on GAE

2010-09-14 Thread Jonathan Lundell
Massimo, here's a patch. In rewrite.py, change this:

exec routesfp.read() in symbols

to this:

exec routesfp.read().translate(None, '\r') in symbols

(and test)


I notice that there's something like this elsewhere:

def compile2(code,layer):
"""
The +'\n' is necessary else compile fails when code ends in a comment.
"""
return compile(code.rstrip().replace('\r\n','\n')+'\n', layer, 'exec')

...though in the case of the rewrite exec call, there doesn't seem to be a need 
for a terminal newline, even if I put a comment on the last line.

No. The call is:

handled = self._handleError(*exc)

The bad line is:

tb = traceback.format_exception(*exc)

it should probably be this:

tb = traceback.format_exception((typ, val, tb))

If you're in a position to test it, you could try that until Tim has a chance 
to verify it.

[web2py] web2py & Python 2.7

2010-09-15 Thread Jonathan Lundell
Is that combination working out OK for anyone? I have a motivation to move to 
2.7, because of another project I contribute to (OpenSTV), but I have no desire 
to maintain two Pythons.

I've never used GAE. Aside from the warning and the 403's, does anything else 
look wrong? Is the path what you would expect? (It looks like an OS X path; is 
that normal for GAE?)

I don't know. Does routes.py do the right thing for favicon.ico if you run it 
on localhost? Do you *have* a favicon.ico in init/static?

A question for Massimo: the stock app.yaml has:

- url: /(?P.+?)/static/(?P.+)
  static_files: applications/\1/static/\2
  upload: applications/(.+?)/static/(.+)
  secure: optional
  expiration: "90d"

Why does this have ?P & b but use \1 and \2? Or is there some implicit logic 
going on under the covers?

FWIW, I keep routes.py in myapp/private/ and copy (or link) it at installation

I've had the same reaction. The key to my understanding form.accepts, fwiw, was 
reading accepts itself. Keep in mind that web2py encourages form 
self-submission. That implies that the same code (controller/function) 
typically needs to run twice: once to create the page+form for display, and 
again to handle the form's submission. 

So form.accepts() is telling you whether it's the first time through, form 
creation (False) or the second, form submission (True). It's a little more 
complicated than that because of validation and error handling, but that's it 
in a nutshell.

That's pretty much it. And if it's false, you need to check form.errors for the 
case in which the submission has errors.

Right. And the form submits to the same controller because you tell it to (or 
let it do so by default). It's always *possible* to submit it elsewhere, but 
setting the forms action. But that can get very confusing.

Yeah. Depending on what you're after, you can create a hidden form element and 
get it back in vars, or maybe put it in session.

I think so, yes.

Now if only DAL objects were as easy to understand

Massimo's note raises another matter that can be confusing. I was describing 
FORM.accepts(), which I tend to use quite a bit, and is somewhat simpler than 
SQLFORM.accepts(), which calls it (though it still does all the validation 
work).

The idea is still the same, and the API pretty much as well.

Perhaps, but it might be a case we haven't considered. Jonathan, if 1.85.2 does 
not fix the problem, I can suggest two alternatives.

If you are *not* using application-specific routing, call rewrite.select() at 
the beginning of your thread. This will initialize the routes attribute to the 
global values (or default values if you have no routes.py).

If you *are* using app-specific routing, I think I'll need to enhance 
rewrite.select(), which I ought to do anyway.

Please let us know, first, if 1.85.2 fixes the problem.

Massimo, the reason I think it might not fix it is that thread.routes is 
initialized for the current thread in main, in the rewrite.select() call. If 
the app creates a new thread, it's going to have a new rewrite.thread object, 
with no routes attribute.

I think.

The key here, Tom, is that dict() is a function call, and in dict(name="tom"), 
we're looking at a named argument (the argument with the name 'name' has the 
value 'tom'), not an assignment.

So with return dict(form=form) (not return(form=form), which wouldn't work), 
you're returning a Python dictionary (which is what dict() returns) that has a 
key named 'form' whose value is form, the object you created in your 
controller. The key string happens to be the same as the name of the object, 
but that's just a coincidence. Or a convenience.

Here's a quick patch to rewrite.filter_out that should fix the problem for 
URL() as long as app-specific routes are not in use:

 def filter_out(url, e=None):
 "called from html.URL to rewrite outgoing URL"
+if not hasattr(thread, 'routes'):
+select()# ensure thread.routes is set (for application threads)
 if thread.routes.routes_out:
 items = url.split('?', 1)
 if e:


Massimo, this will be a little confusing, since there are two Jonathans on this 
(message) thread, and both of us are using application threads.

Here's my case:

The application is a manager for a collection of servers, from tens to possibly 
hundreds. On the central management page, I create a table that summarizes the 
status of the servers. I get the status by sending an xmlrpc query to each 
server, and the response can take several seconds (say 2-10).

Because serializing these requests can take too long, I create a thread per 
server to make the query and wait for the response. CPU time for such a request 
is nil, so all the threads complete in approximately the time for the slowest 
one.

The code is very simple and very clean. 

No doubt I could accomplish something like it with Ajax, and effectively a 
request thread for each server. But I hesitate to rely on the web server's 
thread pool, assuming it has one big enough, and an Ajax solution wouldn't be 
so straightforward, I don't think.

Here's a slightly more complete patch. This should maintain backward 
compatibility with apps that don't use app-specific routing. One that does can 
call rewrite.select(app='name') at the start of a new thread.

This won't help when globals are based on threading.local, though; that's a 
nastier problem.

The URL function requires, at a minimum, app, controller and function names. In 
a call like the one that's blowing out, that supplies only a function name, the 
app & controller names come from request, which URL knows about magically.

I'm at a loss here; I was hoping Massimo might have an idea. 

If you're willing, I can give you a debug print or two to stick in there, and 
at least we can see what's missing, exactly.

Here's a starting point. In gluon/html.py, you'll find this:

if not (application and controller and function):
raise SyntaxError, 'not enough information to build the url'

...which is where the message below is coming from. We want to see a little 
more of the state of the world here. So I'm thinking something like:

if not (application and controller and function):
if r:
msg = 'URL: a=%s c=%s f=%s r.a=%s r.c=%s r.f=%s' % 
(application,controller,function,r.application,r.controller,r.function)

FWIW, I just did the same thing (move the current appadmin into my own app) and

I would assume so, given the message, and especially if you're not seeing

I was afraid of that, and I can't explain it.

Please check that line 219 of gluon/compileapp.py is:

environment['URL'] = html._gURL(request)

And you might want to quit your server, delete all the .pyc files in gluon, and 
restart.

Do you do anything tricky with globals() or the URL symbol in your models? 

And let's try one more printing attempt:

   if not (application and controller and function):
   if r:
   msg = 'URL: a=%s c=%s f=%s r.a=%s r.c=%s r.f=%s' % 
(application,controller,function,r.application,r.controller,r.function)
   else:
   msg = 'URL: a=%s c=%s f=%s r=%s u=%s' % 
(application,controller,function,r,URL.__name__)
   raise SyntaxError, msg

Thanks. 

I realized after I sent that last request that the __name__ of URL might not be 
significant at this point, because we're inside the URL() function.

This might be worth a try. In appadmin.py, near the beginning (after the 
imports, but before response.menu is set):

logger = logging.getLogger('web2py')
logger.warning('appadmin url.name=%s' % URL.__name__)

What you *should* see is _URL. That's what I see if I stick it in my own 
appadmin.

That's good to know. 

You could try this (you'll need to import gluon.html):

{{=gluon.html._gURL(request).__name__}}

That's what the global URL should be.

I think you were saying that this works OK in the other apps, right? You could 
stick similar logic into welcome, for comparison purposes, good vs bad. You 
might have to delete the welcome/compiled directory.

By way of background, the URL logic was updated not all that long ago. Have a 
look at html._gURL, and then compileapp.build_environment() to see how it's 
being used. URL is being replaced by the closure (I think it's a closure) 
_gURL(request), so the value of request gets bound to the URL call, without 
having to supply it all the time.

Also, a single argument to the original URL is treated as the application, 
whereas the closure treats it as the function. We see the former in the syntax 
error print below, more evidence that we're not invoking the closure.

There's a variety of sys.path editing in web2py, but I think it's not entirely

It verifies that both apps are really running with the right code. But for some 
reason, it seems to be messed up at the time that you run any controller in 
your app. That's a puzzle to me.

I appreciate your patience...

So, here's something we can try. In your first (alphabetically) model, create a 
dict: 

urldebug = dict()
urldebug['model1name'] = URL.__name__

The idea will be to trace URL.__name__ as we progress through a request. So at 
the beginning of each model file:

urldebug['model2name'] = URL.__name__

...and one more at the end of your last model.

Then one more in one of your failing controllers (that is, failing if you try 
to call URL with one argument; not actually failing, because we want to get to 
the view).

Then pass urldebug to your view, and dump it there. {{=BEAUTIFY(urldebug)}} 
will do the trick.

Hopefully we'll see the name change from _URL to URL at some point in the 
sequence, and then we can go lion hunting.

Ah, that's good to put to rest.

sqlhtml does from html import *

I guess they must all end up in the namespace. It doesn't hurt sqlhtml, because 
the only place it calls URL it explicitly includes request: self.url = 
URL(r=request,args=request.args)

There are other reasons to avoid import *, so the fix is to be more selective. 
I'll look at getting rid of import * in sqlhtml, too.

Is this possibly normal for fcgi? 

We could change e['REMOTE_ADDR'] to e.get('REMOTE_ADDR', 'localhost'), like we

This logic is wrong on its face:

if 'username' in table_user.fields:
if self.settings.login_userfield:
userfield = self.settings.login_userfield
elif 'username' in table_user.fields:
userfield = 'username'
else:
userfield = 'email' 

A temporary workaround would be to set login_userfield

That part is working, but the the underlying problem seems to be that all that 
stuff is indeed missing from the environment. If you google one of the error 
messages, you'll see that a lot of people have the same problem.

This post might be useful (or the stuff it links to):

It's good; I really like the idea of a bare-bones scaffold.

It'd be nice if the css were a little closer to validating. I understand that 
it's bleeding edge, but still

It'd also be nice if the flash didn't obscure the top links.

Agreed. I like that you've made some attempt to document the hacks, and it'd be 
nice if the validators allowed you to provide a list of expected deviations.

A point of clarification: unless you're actually rewriting a URL (with 
routes_in, etc), http://domain.com/bio will be interpreted as application=bio.

The usage of default_application is pretty simplistic, and in particular it 
never "inserts" an application into a URL.

I agree that the kind of "default" that Albert is expecting here would be 
useful, but for now at least, you have to use routes_in and routes_out to 
achieve it.
