webapp.WSGIApplication to match all other possible paths

I had gone through webapp2 Route to match all other paths

I try to

class SinkHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def get(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.response.out.write('Sink')

application = webapp2.WSGIApplication([    
    (r'/<:.*>', SinkHandler)
], debug = True)

in order to match

http://localhost:9080/dummy
http://localhost:9080/dummy/eummy
http://localhost:9080/dummy/eummy/fummy

But it just yield 404 not found.

I can do it this way.

class SinkHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def get(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.response.out.write('Sink')

application = webapp2.WSGIApplication([    
    (r'/(\w*)$', SinkHandler),
    (r'/(\w*)/(\w*)$', SinkHandler),
    (r'/(\w*)/(\w*)/(\w*)$', SinkHandler)
], debug = True)

It will able to match the above 3 type of URLs. However, if I need to support

http://localhost:9080/dummy/eummy/fummy/gummy

I need to add additional entry in WSGIApplication

Is there a smarter way, to match all other possible paths?

This should work:

application = webapp2.WSGIApplication([    
    (r'/.*', SinkHandler)
], debug = True)

To use the more general regexp, you need to use Route:

from webapp2 import Route

application = webapp2.WSGIApplication([    
    Route(r'/<:.*>', SinkHandler)
], debug = True)
