Question

How can I understand which page user is looking for, if they should be defined in the url like:

http://mysite.appspot.com/something/something-else/      - this is page1
http://mysite.appspot.com/something/something-else/page1 - page1 also
http://mysite.appspot.com/something/something-else/page2 - page2
http://mysite.appspot.com/something/something-else/pageN - pageN

Can I define that with WSGIApplication / app.yaml?

Assuming that you want to use the same handler regardless of page, you can treat part of the path as your page variable.

class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def get(self, page='page1'):        
        self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
        self.response.out.write('Hello, World! Welcome to %s.' % page)

application = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/something/something-else/', MainPage),
                                    ('/something/something-else/([^/]+)', MainPage)],
                                                                         debug=True)

def main():
    run_wsgi_app(application)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

app.yaml:

application: helloworld
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

handlers:
- url: /something/something-else/.*
  script: helloworld.py
