Keyword arguments make the resolver drop positional arguments

Description

Given the URL configuration 

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

def func(request): pass

urlpatterns = patterns('',
        (r'^(\d+)/(?P<kwarg>\d+)/$', func),
)

The following occurs: 

>>> import django.core.urlresolvers
>>> django.core.urlresolvers.resolve('/123/456/')
(<function func2 at 0x133ec30>, (), {'kwarg': '456'})

Note that the positional argument '123' is lost, causing a regression I observed in my patch for #4915.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • needs_better_patch changed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.
  • needs_tests changed.
  • needs_docs changed.

This is intended behaviour. See the documentation. I guess the main reason is that mixing of positional and keyword arguments can lead to ambiguities for many people and cases (if you interleave positional and keyword arg), so we ask people to pick one or the other.

Add/Change #4925 (Keyword arguments make the resolver drop positional arguments)
