4129	Named urls break view prefix.	justin.driscoll@…	Adrian Holovaty	"The following code results in a ViewDoesNotExist exception for 'archive_index' (assuming ""info_dict"" contains the needed parameters):

{{{
urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.date_based',
    url(r'^articles/?$', 'archive_index', info_dict, name=""article-archive-index"")
)
}}}

This works fine:

{{{
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^articles/?$', 'django.views.generic.date_based.archive_index', info_dict, name=""article-archive-index"")
)
}}}

View prefixes do not seem to work for custom views either when used in conjunction with named urls.
