Not entirely convinced. Firstly it's extra stuff you have to explicitly import which seems a style regression from the "oh just use these included urls" that you get with the string-based import. Secondly, whilst it might look fine when you are doing it once, for example: from django.conf.urls import url, include from . import views from .foo import urls urlpatterns = ( url(r'', include(urls, namespace='foo')), url(r'^$', views.landing, name='landing'), ) .. but the import dance get a bit nasty when you have multiple ones - you have to alias each import: from django.conf.urls import url, include from . import views from .foo_app import urls as foo_urls from .bar_app import urls as bar_urls # etc. urlpatterns = ( url(r'', include(foo_urls, namespace='foo')), url(r'', include(bar_urls, namespace='bar')), url(r'^$', views.landing, name='landing'), ) This isn't an readabiliy improvement over using the string urls IMHO. Now, if only we could do the following: from . import views, foo_app, bar_app urlpatterns = ( url(r'', include(foo_app.urls), namespace='foo')), url(r'', include(bar_app.urls), namespace='bar')), url(r'^$', views.landing, name='landing'), ) /lamby -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
