Description

Currently, when django is doing url matching, and it reaches a point where the urls.py file is including another urls.py, it will discard the part that was mathced so far, and then begin matching inside the included urls.py. This patch will enable passing that discarded part (here called stem) to the view that will be eventually called.

This will be useful in the case where one view is called by many url patterns from many urls.py files. It will enable the view to know where it was called from.

This patch is fully backwards compatible.

You can already do this. For example:

(r'^(?P<section>news)/', include('myproject.apps.news.urls')),

Each view mapped to a URL in myproject.apps.news.urls will receive a variable section containing the string 'news'.

In my humble opinion, I would suggest closing this ticket.

Closing as worksforme for the reason Matt pointed out.

I reopened this, hoping to entice more discussion on the merits of this change. Some of the discussion is already in the google groups discussion mentioned in my comment of 1/31.
