Differents entry points with Google App Engine Python

I want to have an structure like this

http://localhost:8080/

http://localhost:8080/problem2/

http://localhost:8080/problem3/

...

I also want a python structure like this

-src

    - app.yaml
    - main.py
    - package_problem_2
        - main.py
    - package_problem_3
        - main.py

I would like to have differents main.py for the differents folder in my web. I mean, if I am in http://mydomain:8080 it is src/main.py the want that handle the requests. But, if I am in http://localhost:8080/problem2 it should be package_problem_2/main.py the one which handle the requests.

Is this possible?

Are you using webapp2 framework?

If so, read on...

You need four files. For simplicity, all are located in the root folder of your app:

app.yaml
urls.py
SampleController.py
Sample.html

on your app.yaml, you should have something like this:

handlers:
- url: /.*
  script: urls.ap

That tells appengine to route all url patterns to urls.py.

Then on your urls.py, you have this structure:

import webapp2
import SampleController

#For each new url structure, add it to router.
#The structure is [py filename].[class name inside py file]
app = webapp2.WSGIApplication(debug=True)
app.router.add((r'/', SampleController.SampleHandler))


def main():
    application.run()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

On your problem, you have three structures: /, /problem2, /problem3. They would correspond to these:

app.router.add((r'/', SampleController.SampleHandler))
app.router.add((r'/problem2', SampleController.SampleHandler2))
app.router.add((r'/problem3', SampleController.SampleHandler3))

It's up to you to decide if they go to the same handler or not.

SampleController.py looks like this:

import webapp2
import os

class SampleHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        template_values = {
            'handler': 'We are in SampleHandler',
            'param2': param2 
        }
        path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'Sample.html')
        self.response.out.write(template.render(path, template_values))


class SampleHandler2(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        template_values = {
            'handler': 'We are in SampleHandler2',
            'param2': param2 
        }
        path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'Sample.html')
        self.response.out.write(template.render(path, template_values))


class SampleHandler3(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        template_values = {
            'handler': 'We are in SampleHandler3',
            'param2': param2 
        }
        path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'Sample.html')
        self.response.out.write(template.render(path, template_values))

Notice they all go to the same Sample.html file.

Sample.html is just standard html code.
