You raise a good point about sub menus.
Possibly something like this:
def resolve_urlname(request):
"""Allows us to see what the matched urlname for this
request is within the template"""
from django.core.urlresolvers import resolve
try:
res = resolve(request.path)
if res:
return {
'urlname' : res.url_name,
'urlparts' : res.url_name.split("__")
}
except:
return {}
But then that forces a naming convention which might not be desired.
The other option is to see if the core devs would accept a patch which
allows you to specify a 'urlname group' on the url() method in urls.py..
