Hi Alendit,
Thanks for explanation. I understand its not necessary but want to
understand how reverse() works-checked source but did not understand
much. my doubt is if I use something like :
reverse('django.contrib.auth.views.password_change_done'),
and have url entry like as follows.
url(r'^change-password-done/$', 'profile.views.password_change_done',
name='django.contrib.auth.views.password_change_done'),
now I do not have any entry with "function string" with
'django.contrib.auth.views.password_change_done', but I have an entry
with name='django.contrib.auth.views.password_change_done', so django
should pick this. But it complains it can not find reverse for this.
It should either pick it from
django.contrib.auth.views.password_change_done or should pick the name
entry from my urlconf.
Is it because my name is separated with '.' ? Is there any such
constraints on the name entry or is it the problem because a view with
this name already exists in auth app.
Thanks for the help.
