You can create a class with a wml method. Then you create an instance of 
the class, and get at the method using dotted notation.

class Class:
     def __call__(self):
         return "I am the default method."
     def wml(self):
         page = <create wml page here>
         return page

test = Class()

Now you should be able to reach it via:

  http://www.mywebsite/wml.py/test.wml
