How can I use multiple variables(paramaters) in a url in django

Question

I can get the filler variable from the URL below just fine.

url(r'^production/(?P<filler>\w{7})/$', views.Filler.as_view()),

In my view I can retrieve the filler as expected. However, if I try to do use a URL like the one below.

url(r'^production/(?P<filler>)\w{7}/(?P<day>).*/$', views.CasesByDay.as_view()),

Both variables (filler, day) are blank.

You need to include the entire parameter in parenthesis. It looks like you did that in your first example but not the second.

Try:

url(r'^production/(?P<filler>\w{7})/(?P<day>.*)/$', views.CasesByDay.as_view()),

See the official documentation for more information and examples: URL dispatcher

Thanks. I didn't get enough sleep or something, I should have caught a mistake like that.
