Description
### urls.py urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^butter/', include(milkpost.urls, namespace="butter", app_name='milkpost')), (r'^newsletter/', include(milkpost.urls, namespace="newsletter", app_name='milkpost')), (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ) ### milkpost.urls def myview(request): return render_to_response('milkpost/main.html') urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^myview', myview, name='myview'), ) ### main.html {% load markup %} <head> <title>main - milkbox</title> </head> <body align="center"> {% url milkpost:myview %} </body>
both urls: /newsletter/myview/ and /butter/myview/
print out /newsletter/myview/
As the following page points out,
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#url-namespaces
two instances of the same app should be distinguishable. This does not happen though and can be very frustrating!

This is working as designed. As Frank notes, 'milkpost:myview' is referencing the app namespace using the default name. If you want to differentiate them, you need to either use 'butter:myview' or 'newsletter:myview' to differentiate the instances, *or* pass in a current_app as part of the context when rendering the view.
As for the docs not being clear... I thought they were. They describe the step by step process, and gives an example as well. Suggestions on how to clarify the docs are welcome.
The docs aren't super clear, but after a quick read shouldn't your template just use {% url myview %} and then it will resolve properly inside each app? By using 'milkpost:myview' you're actually telling it to use the last installed instance ( i.e /newsletter/ ) here.
