Django: URL doesn't match view function

Question

I have my URL defined as follows:

(r'^article/edit/(.*)/$', 'mysite.views.edit_article')

And the function defined as:

def edit_article(request, article_id):

However, it seems that any request to this page results in the wrong value being passed in for article_id. If I redefine my URL as

(r'^article/(.*)/$', 'mysite.views.edit_article')

Minus the "edit/" it seems to work. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

In what way is it wrong? What is the actual value for article_id vs the expected value? — Robert

Try this:

url (r'^article/edit/(?P<article_id>\d+)$', 'mysite.views.edit_article'),

Take a look at the Named Groups in the Django documentation

You don't have to name the parameter - if you don't, it will be passed positionally, to the first argument in the function (after request). Since his view only has one additional argument, it should work either way.
