12161	Error in code example - Generic views (regular expression)	infopams	nobody	"(at this page: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/generic-views/)

This code example is nonfuctional:

{{{
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
from mysite.books.views import about_pages

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ('^about/$', direct_to_template, {
        'template': 'about.html'
    }),
    ('^about/(w+)/$', about_pages),
)

}}}

It should be like this:

{{{
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
from mysite.books.views import about_pages

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ('^about/$', direct_to_template, {
        'template': 'about.html'
    }),
    ('^about/(\w+)/$', about_pages),
)

}}}

In short: the token (w+) should be replaced for (\w+) in order to have de desired functionality"		closed	Documentation	1.1		fixed	regular-expression documentation generic-views		Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
