Creating URL namespaces in Django

namespaced-urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

# you can only define a namespace for urls when calling include() -- hence this rigamarole:

app_patterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^(?P<pk>[\w\-]+)/$', 'yourapp.views.your_view_function',
        name="your-view"),
)

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^view-function/', include(app_patterns,
        namespace='yournamespace', app_name='yourapp')),
)

"""

    You can now use the namespace when you refer to the view, e.g. a call
    to `reverse()`:
    
    # yourapp/models.py
    
    from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
    
    # ...
    
    class MyModel(models.Model):
    
        def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('signalqueue:exception-log-entry', kwargs=dict(pk=self.pk))
