Optional get parameters in django?

Question

Can someone please explain how you can write a url pattern and view that allows optional parameters? I\'ve done this successfully, but I always break the url template tag.

Answer 1

Why not have two patterns:

(r'^so/(?P\d+)/(?P.*)/$', view='myapp.so', name='optional'),
(r'^so/(?P\d+)/$', view='myapp.so', kwargs={'optional':None}, name='required'),
