Answer 1

A safer and more flexible way:

import urllib
from django.urls import reverse


def build_url(*args, **kwargs):
    get = kwargs.pop('get', {})
    url = reverse(*args, **kwargs)
    if get:
        url += '?' + urllib.urlencode(get)
    return url

then you can use build_url:

url = build_url('view-name', get={'name': 'joe'})

which takes same arguments as reverse, but provides an extra keyword argument get where you can put your GET parameters in it as a dictionary.
