Access URI Parameters via webapp2

Question

I want to access the URI parameters of the given request:

http://localhost:8080/account/user?un=erik&pw=gaius

I can't make the following code work though,

main.py

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', MainPage),
                               ('/account/user', account.User)],
                              debug=True)

account.py

class User(webapp2.RequestHandler):
  def get(self, un, pw):
    self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
    self.response.write('Yey!' + un + ' ' + pw)

I think there's something wrong on my main.py, but I tried to mess with it by adding named routes and regex's, but I just kept getting 500 errors (Internal Server error).

I suspect the regexp using '/account/user// only works with the URL parts, not the query part (which you wouldn't expect to be part of routing) — tesdal, Oct 18 '12 at 12:09

class User(webapp2.RequestHandler):
  def get(self):
    un = self.request.get('un')
    pw = self.request.get('pw')
    self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
    self.response.write('Yey!' + un + ' ' + pw)
