Thank you. Somehow I missed that. :-)
Seriously, one of the key things you do when marketing a product is
identify your target audience. Adrian and Jacob (or their editors) had
to do that when writing the book.

Django is th
This conversation is reminiscent of many others I have seen in other
technical communities through the years.
I believe the need for a simpler URL pattern mechanism (and perhaps
other simplifying tools) is largely dictated by the stated target
audience for Django. If Django is meant for experienc

I thought I'd mention Kodos as a help for people with regex troubles:
http://kodos.sourceforge.net/
When I've wondered why things just weren't working in my URLs, and I've
wasted time banging on stuff, copying the pattern into Kodos and typing in
the URL I wanted to match it has usually pointed o

That saying can be countered by this old saw which I find amusing:

i *would* like to champion this, as django's regex -> function mapping
is its best single feature, IMO.

I don't know about sticking that in core, but that sure is a neat idea
that I think I might use in some personal stuff. Particularly useful
when urls have a complex 'bases' that I wish to use to parse the same
info out of groups of urls each time that are distinguished with
additional fiddly bits
Just a note: I'm not going to champion this one since I do know
regular expressions. I simply read elsewhere that it is a common
stumbling block for newbies and thought I'd bring it up.
Actually, the regex newbies I know usually just need a few examples to
get them off the ground. E.g. use "[-\

Note that this example is more complicated than it needs to be. I'd

It was discussed previously that making URL matching easier by not
having to understand regular expressions would be a nice goal, and
perhaps a nice 1.0 goal...
