Add a prefix to URL patterns in Django?

Question

I have a DJango application that have several entries in URL patterns (urls.py):

urlpatterns = patterns(
    \'\',
    # change Language
    (r\'^i18n/\', in         


        

Answer 1

Make a pattern that looks for the common URL prefix, then include a second patterns object:

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    url(r'^myprefix/', include(patterns(
        '',
        # change Language
       (r'^i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),
       url('^api/v1/', include(router.urls)),
       url(r'^api-docs/', RedirectView.as_view(url='/api/v1/')),
       url(r'^api/', RedirectView.as_view(url='/api/v1/')),
       url(r'^api/v1', RedirectView.as_view(url='/api/v1/')),
       # Et cetera
    )
)

In fact you should perhaps group all the URLs that start with api/ this way, and definitely all the ones that start with r'^(?P[^/]+)/forms/(?P[^/]+)/'.

Edit: I didn't test that, see the documentation under "Including other URLconfs".
