What is everyone using for URL dispatch?

I'm working on a simple webapp I want to run both on GAE and locally.
I see GAE has its own URL-dispatching system.  I studied selector and
routes too.  Selector and routes both seem great, but there isn't a
whole lot of development activity going on there.

Is everyone just rolling their own?  Using the ones built into frameworks?

Just curious.

Matt

I'm guessing that Routes and Selector might be close to "done".  They
both work well AFAIK.  Active development isn't a great indicator of
how useful a library is.

Re: What is everyone using for URL dispatch?

Things that should cover every URL dispatching need:
 * WSGI
 * understanding of script_name / path_info semantics
 * paste.urlmap.URLMap
 * webob.Request.path_info / path_info_peek() / path_info_pop()
 * regulars ifs, splits and dictionary lookups

I also use pasteob.PathMap, PathMatch, HostMap, override_https.

Works fine for stuff that runs on GAE and elsewhere.
