Since you want to wirk with {whatever} comming from /test/{whatever}, you need to declare a variable in your url or pass {whatever} via GET variable.

Declaring a variable in url:

Change your url definition like this

...
url(r'^test/(?P<variable_name>\w+)/$', views.testUrl),
...

And catch it in the view:

def testUrl(request, variable_name):
    # Now if you call '/test/hithere/'
    # variable_name will take the value 'hithere'
    # you could do -> parseIt = variable_name
    ...

Passing {whatever} via GET variable

You can always call you url like this:

mydomain.org/test/?var=hithere

And the in your view:

def testUrl(request):
    parsetIt = request.GET.get('var')
    ...
