it's this:
In controllers/default.py I have

and in modules/foo.py I have

where bar is app/modules/bar.py.
I got tired of going through the edit page to get to the view after
editing a controller so I modified admin/controllers/default.py and
admin/view/default/edit.html as shown below. The changes cause an
extra line of links to the views associated with the controller to
