Slug urlconf regex pattern for Django urlpatterns

Posted February 8th, 2010 by thefekete

If you want to match a slug in your urls.py, use (?P[-\w]+) as a named match pattern:

So, if you wanted to match http://example.com/some-slug-name/, you would use

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # ...
    url(r'^(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$', some_view),
    # ...
)

I got this info from a Django Users Thread on google groups.
