[mod_python] How can I have sensible URLs?

You could also separate your app into different modules, then write
libdb.py so that all its functions do is call functions from your other
modules, e.g.:

Assuming there is a libsearch.py which contains all the code necessary
for searching, in libdb.py you'd have:

import libsearch

def search():
	return libsearch.search()

The only caveat with this approach is described here:
