django.core.urlresolvers.reverse capturing group before include behavior

[Squeesh]

I have run into an issue using reverse() to lookup named urls with
capturing groups before an include().

Code:

--------mysite/urls.py--------
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', 'views.index',
name='root'),
url(r'^(?P<some_slug>\w+)/test/', include('test.urls',
namespace='test')),
)
--------end mysite/urls.py--------


--------mysite/test/urls.py--------
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', 'test.views.index',
name='index'),
)
--------end mysite/test/urls.py--------


--------mysite/views.py--------
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
# Works: returns '/(?P<some_slug>\w+)/test/'
test_url = reverse('test:index')

# NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'index' with arguments '('slug',)'
# and keyword arguments '{}' not found.
test_url = reverse('test:index', args=['slug'])

# NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'index' with arguments '()'
# and keyword arguments '{'some_slug': 'slug'}' not found.
test_url = reverse('test:index', kwargs={'some_slug': 'slug'})

# Desired output is '/slug/test/'

return HttpResponse("""
root index<br/>
<a href="{test_url}">Test</a><br/>
""".format(test_url=test_url))
--------end mysite/views.py--------


--------mysite/test/views.py--------
from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request, some_slug):
return HttpResponse('test index: %s' % some_slug)
--------end mysite/test/views.py--------


reverse('test:index') will only resolve if you don't pass it any
arguments. And then the result is the original regex... The desired
behavior is for it to either accept args or kwargs of 'slug' and
return '/slug/test/'.

Is there a setting that I am missing to allow for this behavior? Is
this a known bug?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

try this: reverse("mysites.views.index")

Thanks Chang.Jian,

test_url = reverse('test.views.index', args=['slug'])

and

test_url = reverse('test.views.index', kwargs={'some_slug': 'slug'})

work as expected...

reverse('test:index', args=['slug']) would be the desired syntax, but the other will work fine as a work around. Anyone know if this is a known issue with the dev team? My Google searches didn't come up with much.
