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

Beware. I did this on a development server and wanted to change it later.

I had to clear my caches to change it. In order to avoid this head-scratching in the future, I was able to make it temporary like so:

from django.views.generic import RedirectView

url(r'^source$', RedirectView.as_view(permanent=False, 
                                      url='/dest/')),
