No. Writing regular expressions is obviously something that can be done different ways. I think you should write your URLconfs expecting the slashes to be there so that you let Django append it and therefore have a single URL format. This gives you a little more coherence when people link to you, and also helps with search ranking a little. If you have APPEND_SLASH = False and wish to accept either form, then you need to have the ? after the final "/" in order to match either form. The answer to what that last "?" did, though, is answered in the re syntax guide which Tim posted. ( http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html ) Quoting: " "?" Causes the resulting RE to match 0 or 1 repetitions of the preceding RE. ab? will match either 'a' or 'ab'.
