If you change the module name, don't you have to change the controller name to match? I think there is a bit of name magic.

Thanks, should have known not to call my controller module the same as the
webapps.

If I change the name of the controller class, i.e. from TemplateController to
xxx I get: exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'TemplateController' but pylons.routes_dict {'action': 'test', 'controller': 'template', 'id': None}
appears to have the right data

Is there something special about the controller class name that I am missing or
is this a small bug?

I installed pylons 0.9.3

Created a new-app hello.py works

but when copying my old-app files to new-app and changing references I get the following error when trying to hit the controller:

You can't have a controller module named the same as your webapp's package. This is a python problem -- in this case, it is assumes 'banner' refers to the controller module (a relative import) as opposed to your top level package (an absolute import).
