No. This one's a case or pilot error. If you want to use this form, you
must write it as:
url(r'^$', 'index', name="blog-index")
url() is a function call, so you can pass it named arguments. The (...)
form (without a leading "url") is a Python tuple and you can't use
'name=value' style arguments and it must have four arguments. Best to
stick to the url() form.
By the way, you can test whether things are working at the interactive
prompt using reverse(), which is how the url template tag is
implemented:
>>> from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
>>> reverse('index')
u'/'
would be what I would expect to see here. If you want to pass arguments
to reverse(), use the 'args' and 'kwargs' named parameters (the second
positional argument is something different).
