Just be aware that the special interpretation of URLs that publisher does means that there will be certain restrictions on how you could feasibly name files. The main one is that each component of the URL must be able to map to a Python module name, function name, variable name etc. Therefore each component of the URL must be a valid Python identifier name. You therefore couldn't embed '-' in a name, or having leading numeric digits. You also can't have a '.' in a name except where it matches against the initial Python module that publisher loads. This extension will be discarded and so if you have two files with the same basename and different extensions, they wouldn't be automatically mapped to different functions. Publisher also doesn't allow components to have a leading underscore, interpreting this as access to a protected object. What problems you are going to encounter is going to depend a bit on what you are trying to do. Do the files you want to reference actually exist, but you want control for returning them to be managed by a publisher function, or are all files virtual? There may be better options depending on what you are doing. Graham
