How do you use Django URL namespaces?

Question

I\'m trying to get the hang of Django URL namespaces. But I can\'t find any examples or documentation.

Here is what I have tried.

urls.py:

from d

I realize the solution below violates the DRY principal as you have to create essentially duplicate url config files for foo and bar, however I think it should work.

urls.py:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^foo/', include('sub_urls_foo')),
    (r'^bar/', include('sub_urls_bar')),            
)

sub_urls_foo.py:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url
from views import view1

urlpatterns = patterns('views',
    url(r'^(?P\d+)/$', view1, 'view1_foo', {'namespace': 'view1_foo'})
)

sub_urls_bar.py:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url
from views import view1

urlpatterns = patterns('views',
    url(r'^(?P\d+)/$', view1, 'view1_bar', {'namespace': 'view1_bar'})
)

views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

def view1(request, view_id, namespace):
    return render_to_response('view1.html', locals())

And then for the template use this:

{% url namespace 3 %}

I haven't tested the idea of using a variable in the name section of the {% url %} tag, but I think it should work.
