Broken here: In [21]: url="\'f\',args=[\'x\',\'y\'],vars=dict(z=\'t\')"
In [22]: [part.strip('\'').strip('\"') for part in url[4:].split(',')] Out[22]: ["args=['x", "y']", "vars=dict(z='t')"] Just use: elif url.lower().startswith('url:'): url=eval("URL(" + url[4:] + ")") This was my first solution, it works well with args and vars. This case works, tested against: Home url:'homepage','plugin_wiki','index' Articles page:articles Links url:'homepage','default','links' Test url:'f',args=['x','y'],vars=dict(z='t') Projects url:'f',args=['x','y'] Generated: http://127.0.0.1:8000/homepage/plugin_wiki/index http://127.0.0.1:8000/homepage/plugin_wiki/page/articles http://127.0.0.1:8000/homepage/default/links http://127.0.0.1:8000/homepage/plugin_wiki/f/x/y?z=t http://127.0.0.1:8000/homepage/plugin_wiki/f/x/y The only small gotcha is white space absence being required because of the regular expression being used to "parse" the meta-menu lines...
