Description changed by James Bennett:
Old description:
> Now that we're in the 2.0 release cycle and Python 3 only, any examples
> or code in Django using a `\d` in a regex URL pattern should be replaced
> with `[0-9]`, as `\d` on Python 3 matches any character with Unicode
> category [Nd], which is almost certainly not what people expect. Changing
> to explicit `[0-9]`, perhaps with a note about why it should be
> preferred, would be better.
New description:
Now that we're in the 2.0 release cycle and Python 3 only, any examples or
code in Django using a `\d` in a regex should be replaced with `[0-9]`, as
`\d` on Python 3 matches any character with Unicode category [Nd], which
is almost certainly not what people expect. Changing to explicit `[0-9]`,
perhaps with a note about why it should be preferred, would be better.
