You can't do this directly in this fashion. The patterns(...) contents are not evaluated dynamically at runtime like this. Instead you need to write a small piece of Python code to work out the extra information to ultimately pass to the view. For Django's generic views, there is an example here: http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2006/06/29/django-tips-extending-generic-views/ Extending this to call your own views, rather than Django's views is straightforward.
