I'm trying to set up a dynamic tree of resources - a list of resources that drill-down into individual resources. But for some reason, getChild never gets called on my root resource. The following code will output a list of ids, but "/id" doesn't call getChild. What am I doing wrong?

from twisted.web import server, resource

class Child(resource.Resource):

def __init__(self, childid): self.childid = childid

def render_GET(self, request): return "<h1>" + self.childid + "</h1>"

class Root(resource.Resource):

def render_GET(self, request): pg = "" for i in range(10): pg += '<p><a href="/' + str(i) + '">' + str(i) + "</a></p>" return pg

def getChild(self, path, request): return Child(path)

if __name__ == "__main__": from twisted.internet import reactor

root = resource.Resource() root.putChild('', Root())

With this resource hierarchy set up, here's what you should expect: - / will call root.getChild("") - /id will call root.getChild("id") - /foo/bar will call root.getChild("foo").getChild("bar") So, perhaps you want to make root an instance of Root instead of an instance of Resource with a "" child of a Root instance?
