Use end of URL as variable, without it being a GET parameter?

I have some urls that match:

(r'foo/[1-9]?[0-9]/?', Foo)

I am against having them be e.g. mydomain.tld/foo?n=84 only because I think it's a nice canonical(?) style to have permalinks without GET parameters.

I am currently doing:

class Handler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    #...
    def currentURL(self):
        return self.request.path_qs

class Foo(Handler):
    def get(self):
        n = re.match(r'.+/([1-9]?[0-9])/?', self.currentURL()).group(1)
        #do something with n

But is there a cleaner, less hacky method?

from https://webapp-improved.appspot.com/guide/routing.html ... I think the following will work

(r'foo/([1-9]?[0-9])/?', Foo)

then 

class Foo(Handler):
    def get(self,n):
        print n
