With isLeaf=False, the root resource will _never_ have its render()
method called. That is because the request for the root resource is
always '/', not ''. (i.e., "GET / HTTP/1.1", not "GET  HTTP/1.1")

'/'.split('/') == [''], which means that getChild('', request) will be
called. Therefore, your root resource must respond to 
getChild('', request).
