Naming URL patterns


In order to perform URL reversing, you'll need to use named URL patterns as done in the examples above. The string used for the URL name can contain any characters you like. You are not restricted to valid Python names. When you name your URL patterns, make sure you use names that are unlikely to clash with any other application's choice of names. If you call your URL pattern comment, and another application does the same thing, there's no guarantee which URL will be inserted into your template when you use this name. Putting a prefix on your URL names, perhaps derived from the application name, will decrease the chances of collision. We recommend something like myapp-comment instead of comment.
