webapp2 routing returns 404

I am trying to use webapp2 routing and this is currently failing. It does not seem to match the routing rules I set up and as a result returns a 404 for certain rules.

My code is like:

main.py

    import webapp2, urls

    app = webapp2.WSGIApplication(urls.SITE_URL_PATTERNS, debug=True)

urls.py

    from webapp2 import Route
    from webapp2_extras import routes

    import test_handler


    SITE_URL_PATTERNS = [
            routes.PathPrefixRoute('/admin', [
                    Route(r'/action_one', test_handler.take_action_one),
                    Route(r'/action_two', test_handler.take_action_two),
                    Route(r'/<action_three:\w+>', test_handler.take_action_three),
            ]),
            Route(r'/view/action_one', test_handler.view_action_one),
            Route(r'/', test_handler.view_homepage),
    ]

app.yaml

    - url: .*
        script: main.app

I can not seem to load /view/action_one (returns a 404), but I can load /admin/action_one.

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong here? Appreciate your help!

Okay, I found my stupid error (yes, a real "DOH!" moment):

Route(r'/<action_three:\w+>'

Should be

Route(r'/<action_three:[^/]+>'

It had problems matching the datastore keys as these can include other characters that are represented by \w. Going for everything else but / will normally solve this problem (use [^/]+).

Hope this will help someone else as well.
