I think rather you need to make the pattern match all possible values of category. Since you want to take the value from the url and look it up in the database, and since you allow spaces in category, your pattern has to allow spaces. (Note that the percent-encoding in the url is automatically undone before url mathicng is attempted. Similarly your view code will get the variable passed in with spaces, not '%20' in place of spaces.) So, if your category field can contain any character, then your urlpattern to match it should be something like: ^blog/(?P<category>.+)/$ instead of the \w which disallows spaces (among other characters).
