The regular expression you give will only match ACSII letters, numbers, and minus (-). If you have anything else, like a space orother punctuation, it will fail.
One solution is to use slugify from django.template.defaultfilters. It will turn everything into a good slug. Then all you need is to add an _ to get (?P<slug>[\-\d\w_]+). If you are not an english speaker, then you might look at http://amisphere.com/contrib/python-django/ slugHIFI. If you don’t want to translate or can’t for whatever reason, Try changing the last bit of the regular expression to /(?P<slug>[^/#?]+)/ $ and it will match almost anything. Unfortunately, you can’t count on anything sent without translation. If you’re careful, you can translate it back.
