Description

It would be nice to allow named-URL reversal in the new RedirectView.

Example workaround:

class NamedRedirectView(RedirectView):
    url_name = None

    def get_redirect_url(**kwargs):
        if self.url_name:
            return reverse(url_name)
        return super(NamedRedirectView, self).get_redirect_url(**kwargs)
url(r'^blah/', NamedRedirectView.as_view(url_name='xyz:abc')),

I would imagine it is fairly common to want to keep URLconfs DRY, so perhaps this should be built into RedirectView as an additional option? Of course reversing with args/kwargs is a different story altogether...

Agreed that it should be easier to do a named URL redirect. The same is true of success URLs on edit views. Whatever solution we come up with should be consistent across all uses if at all possible.
