Hi Antti,
1) Your day match is for \w{1,2} which will match one or 2 digits but also word characters because \w is same as [a-zA-Z0-9_] (see re documentation). (r'(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>[a-z]{3})/(?P<day>w{1,2})/(?P<slug>[-w]+)/$' Should be (r'(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>[a-z]{3})/(?P<day>\d{1,2})/(?P<slug>[-w]+)/$' 2) The slash before the [ is wrong. See http://docs.python.org/library/re.html [] is used to match a set/range of characters. (?P<month>\[a-z]{3})" (r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\[a-z]{3})/(?P<day>\w{1,2})/(?P<slug>\[-w]+)/$', (r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\[a-z]{3})/(?P<day>\w{1,2})/$', (r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\[a-z]{3})/$', 3) The list.html is shown because it matches: (r'^blog/', include('anttipetaisto.blog.urls')), and then (r'^$','archive_index', dict(info_dict, template_name='blog/list.html')), What URL do you enter when you get the error?

I tried adding the backslash but it still doesn't match. Would I need to put a different character after the other entries in the expression? What I mean would there be a different character used in "(?P<month>\[a-z]{3})" ? Also one more note if I type in http://127.0.0.1:8000/blog/ then the page loads using the list.html template as it should. I have included the main urls.py as well as the blog urls.py -----Original Message----- From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:django-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Antti Sent: 23 February 2011 06:48 To: Django users Subject: Re: urls.py and views.generic issue Hello Chris, thanks for the response. I don't know where that space is coming from. When I type in http://127.0.0.1:8000/blog/ a page loads using the list.html template as it should. Would that mean that the space might be fine because the main urls.py is calling the blog urls.py? I have a main urls.py and then I have a blog urls.py. The files are as below and the space is added somewhere along the lines.
