Sorry, I guess I should have looked a bit harder before posting this
question,
I've figured it out.
Hopefully this will be of help to someone else.
the discussion here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8925434/django-class-based-generic-views-url-variable-passing
answers my question.
The URL parameters are not available directly as a class attribute in the
class based generic view
but they can be accessed indirectly in the get_queryset method as so:
def get_queryset(self):
model_group_id=self.kwargs['model_group_id']
( where 'model_group_id' is the URL parameter being accessed )
