Having created a django web app mostly as a learning project, I've found
that users can't use slugs that start with the words 'test' or 'echo.' I
imagine there are others. For the moment, I've hacked around this by
appending a '1' to slugs that match certain regular expressions, which is
obviously silly.

The above ''would'' fail with a traceback like the following if the '1'
were removed from the end of the slug. This happens both in dev and
production with apache2 and mod_python. I'm able to pull up the slug at
the shell with a query like

{{{ Scrap.objects.get(url_title='test', user__username='neoxic') }}}

Comment:

You need to provide a lot more information about your view code for us to
have a chance to understand this. It seems extremely unlikely that this
is a genuine bug in Django code, since there is no special-casing in our
URL handling code that might trigger something like "test" or "echo", so
I'm closing INVALID. If you can provide a minimal test case that
demonstrates a bug in Django code, please re-open. If you need help
debugging the problem with your web app, please use the django-users
Google group, or IRC.

Thanks.
