Python + Django page redirect

Question

How do I accomplish a simple redirect (e.g. cflocation in ColdFusion, or header(location:http://) for PHP) in Django?

Answer 1

With Django version 1.3, the class based approach is:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url
from django.views.generic import RedirectView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^some-url/$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/redirect-url/'), name='some_redirect'),
)

This example lives in in urls.py
