A decorator is not necessary but a similar function accept a method. I don't
like any of existing web frameworks and try to write one via werkzeug from
pocoo.

from myapp.controllers import RootController
from werkzeug.routing import Map, Rule
from werkzeug.exceptions import HTTPException
from werkzeug.wrappers import Request

url_map = Map([
    Rule('/', endpoint=RootController.index),
    Rule('/about', endpoint=RootController.about),
    Rule('/contact', endpoint=RootController.contact),
    Rule('/<action>/', endpoint=RootController.otheraction)
])

def application(environ, start_response): #this is a WSGI 1.0 app
    bound_url_map = url_map.bind_to_environ(environ)
    try:
        endpoint, args = bound_url_map.match()
    except HTTPException, e:
        return e(environ, start_response)
    Controller = endpoint.im_class
    controller = Controller(Request(environ))
    if hasattr(controller, '__before__'):
        controller.__before__()
    endpoint(controller)
    if hasattr(controller, '__after__'):
        controller.__after__()
    response = controller.__get_response__():
    return response(environ, start_response)

This is a Pylons-style application, but I don't like others in Pylons.

Frankly though it sounds messy no matter what. It might be better to find an alternative to knowing the class.
