It's entirely up to the developer as to which pattern to follow. It's not something the software can help with (although it's already encouraged, since we use reg-exps to parse the URIs). For example, there are very valid use-cases, when including a locale specifier in a URL for putting it either at the front or the end of the URL (e.g. /de/foo/blah vs /foo/blah/de). Both are valid and good practice in different cases. Even within the same website, both styles might be appropriate (it's not going to be common, but I can think of some cases). There's no way for a set of libraries like Django to provide more than a way to parse out useful bits of URLs for situations like that (and locale parsing, particularly in the leading-component case, is one of the use-cases for some of the URL resolver modifications we'll eventually need).
