Configure app.yaml in GAE to allow selection of scripts through URL

I have created an app in Google App Engine and it's working pretty well in a conventional browser. The main script is called example.py (because I have been hacking off an example and I never changed it). It calls a html file and passes in variables as you would expect.

Now I want to develop a new version that's more suitable for mobile devices. To do this, I wrote a new python script called example_mobile.py. It's similar to example.py except that it calls a different html file with a different stylesheet. Inelegant I know but I thought it would be easy to implement through the app.yaml file.

Here is my app.yaml file:

application: (my application id string)
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

handlers:
- url: /remote_api
  script: $PYTHON_LIB/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/handler.py
  login: admin

- url: /stylesheets
  static_dir: stylesheets

- url: /javascript
  static_dir: javascript

- url: /images
  static_dir: images

- url: /mobile/.*
  script: example_mobile.py

- url: /.*
  script: example.py

www.(my domain name).com pulls up the output from example.py no problem. I was hoping that www.(my domain name).com/mobile would pull up the output from example_mobile.py but it didn't work. Also tried www.mobile.(my domain name).com but no luck. Tried leaving off the /.* at the end of /mobile but that didn't help either. I switched example_mobile.py and example.py to check that it wasn't the python and I got the expected result so there's definitely something wrong with how I'm formatting and using the app.yaml file. Can't seem to find a similar use case in the GAE docs so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

To trigger the /mobile/.* route you should visit www.(my domain name).com/mobile/

One simple suggestion is to have a single example.py matched by /.* leaving the routing part to the WSGIApplication class.

application = webapp.WSGIApplication(
                                     [('/mobile', example.MobileHandler),
                                     ( '/', example.MainHandler)],
                                     debug=True)

One rule of thumb here is that on app.yaml you should have different routes for different applications or different components.

Is mobile a different application/components or just the same application with a different theme and some lighter features?
