FormWizard in urlconf is not reversable

Description

The recommended way to use a FormWizard is to embed the FormWizard into the urlconf (where it'll be called with call, and operates like a view). However, any template that uses the "url" tag to reverse a view won't work with this.

Fix: don't embed the FormWizard directly into urlconf; wrap it in a view (how? haven't had any luck with this)
Workaround: add another entry to urlconf for the _same_ url, pointing to a view that does nothing. Use this view as the 'url' tag parameter in the template.

I acknowledge this is really ugly.

The recommended way to do that would be to use the named url mappings. See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#id2 for details

Great, thanks for the tip, much better workaround. Does FormWizard need a default behavior, like a standard view?
