Django urls.py regex doesn't match?

Question

Snapshot

I'm pretty sure my regex is correct, but somehow it cannot capture the parameter and complaining no page found/match... I'm really stuck, if anyone can help me anything...heap thanks

This is the related part of my urls.py

from django.conf.urls import *
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from api.views.forgot_password import password_reset

url(r'^reset_password/(?P<auth>\w+)/(?P<email>\w+)/$', password_reset),

(?P<email>\w+) part is incorrect. \w match only digits, _, alphabets (not @, .).

Use following url:

`^reset_password/(?P<auth>\w+)/(?P<email>[^/]+)/$`

This does not strictly match email. But that will not be issue because you should check email with User.email.
