Yes. There's also Routes:
http://routes.groovie.org/
which is a port of the Rails routes system that lets you do all the
fancy mapping to support arbitrary URL schemes. Integrating it with TG
is pretty easy.
I've used Routes a bit and I love it for supporting legacy url
schemes. However, the tradeoff is that it (and Django's regexp based
mapping) is very complicated and difficult to debug. If I don't have
to deal with legacy URLs, I'll go for the simple cherrypy approach
every time. The recent addition of positional parameter support in
TG has made it easy to support all but the most convoluted URL
structures now without introducing the complexity and confusion of
mapping.
