Ho can I reverse urls inside urls.py?

[DJ-Tom]

Based on this article I implemented a password reset function.

Unfortunately, currently this only works on the development server because the base URLs for the post_reset_redirect are different on the production server.

This is the relevant part of my urls.py, I marked the prolematic parts in red:

    url(r'^password/reset/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset',{'post_reset_redirect' : '/accounts/password/reset/done/', 'template_name': 'accounts/password_reset.html'}, name="password_reset"),\
    (r'^password/reset/done/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_done',{'template_name': 'accounts/password_reset_done.html'}), \
    (r'^password/reset/(?P<uidb36>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm',{'post_reset_redirect' : '/accounts/password/done/', 'template_name': 'accounts/password_reset_confirm.html'}),\
    (r'^password/done/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_complete',{'template_name': 'accounts/password_reset_complete.html'}),
)

Normally I would use reverse('django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_done') to get the correct URL, but using reverse() inside the urls.py leads to a configuration error, so how can I put the correct URLs here so it works correct both in development and production?

Thanks

Use reverse_lazy

The problem is that reverse works by querying the structure that is defined by importing the urls modules.

A possible cheap trick is to create your dictionary in a module global, passing that to the url call, in which case you could later import the module and patch the "post_reset_redirect' item with data that you could then get from reverse.

But, IIRC, urls may not be imported until the first request, so it may be tricky finding a place to put this code.
