[Django]-Split URL with regex

by

3👍

✅

The problem is that your regexp doesn’t match the whole URL because the pattern ends with a slash, and your URL doesn’t.

But since regexp without an explicit $ at the end matches a prefix of a string, if you’ll have a look at your match variable you’ll notice that it is user/, not user/3 as you might expect.

Update: (more verbose explanation)

r'^blog/.*/' matches [blog/user/] and [blog/user/]3 (square brackets used to denote actually matched parts).

If you try r'^blog/.*/$' you’ll notice that blog/user/3 won’t match at all since there is not slash at the end.
