type error issue

[jon stan]

So i keep getting this error every time i try to pass a variable in http.

in my template i have a link that contains the variable of a county in a state:  

   template.html
   <li><a href="/main/region/{{cnty}}/">{{ cnty }}</a></li>

when you click the link i guess it goes to the urls file:
 
   urls.py
   url(r'^region', views.region, name='region'),

and then it gets picked up by the views file but i keep getting an error for some reason:

   views.py
   def region(request, cnty):
     
       return render(
           request, 'region.html', context={'cnty':cnty},
       )

the error says "region() takes 2 arguments 1 given", but i dont understand how im only giving 1 argument?

In your urls.py file you have to add the variable you want to add to the URL....

You currently have : 

url(r'^region', views.region, name='region'),

But it should be:

url(r'^region/(?P<cnty>[\w-]+)/$', views.region, name='region'),

Otherwise the url doesn't know where to get the cnty variable from and therefore you get the error.
