Or, a generic method would have the urls.py such as

urlpatterns = patterns(‘mysite.controllers’,
(r’^people/$’, ‘people.index’),
(r’^(?P[^/]+)/(?P[^/]+)/$’, ‘generic_view’)
)

the generic_view then loads a specific view if it exists, else it uses a simple generic handler.

I am trying to make this work with Django 1.2 and always get an error:

unknown specifier: ?P.

My urls.py looks like

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

def free_pattern(request, view, segments=”"):
segments = segments.split(r’/')
try:
view_fn = getattr(‘/’, view)
except AttributeError:
raise Http404
return view_fn(request, *segments)

urlpatterns = patterns(‘mysite.controllers’,
(r’^people/$’, ‘people.index’),
(r’^(?P.+?)/(?:(?P.+?)/)?$’, free_pattern)
)

Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for posting this solution by the way.

Cheers,
