NoReverseMatch question

[goblue0311]

Hi all:

I'm receiving this error:

#*************************************
NoReverseMatch at /blog/
Reverse for 'blog_detail' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments
'{'year': 2008, 'slug': u'second_post', 'day': 21, 'month': 'nov'}'
not found."
#*************************************

when I try to call this function from views.py:

#*************************************
def post_list(request, page=0):
queryset = Post.objects.published()

for item in queryset:
print item.get_absolute_url()

return list_detail.object_list(
request,
queryset,
paginate_by = 20,
page = page,
)
#*************************************

with this urls.py:

#*************************************
url(r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>[a-z]{3})/(?P<day>\w{1,2})/(?
P<slug>[-\w]+)/$',
view=blog_views.post_detail,
name='blog_detail'),
#*************************************

This may be an odd thing to do, but I'm trying to debug an issue where
my blog_index view doesn't let me see the detailed view for any of the
blog entries. In any case, I think my URLconf and model definition of
get_absolute_url( ) are aligned, but maybe that's not the case.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Another note if interest is that the error message is citing the
keyword arguments in the order year, slug, day, and month. However,
get_absoloute_url and the urls.py function use year, month, day, and
slug. Maybe I have some outdated code here, but where would it reside?

You have an underscore in slug - "second_post" but your regex doesn't allow it - "[-\w]+". I think it is the problem.
And why you did you choose "\w" for day?

Thanks for the suggestion!

This code came from the basicApps collection, so I'm not sure why
they're using a Word regex to match the day, I'm going to try changing
that to Digit.

However, I did remove the underscore from my slug, so now it's just
'secondPost', and I get the same error. I also tried deleting all the
*.pyc files, because I'm a little concerned about the re-ordering of
the error message, although maybe that's nothing.

good call - I repeated my concern below before I saw your response, so
please disregard.

The NoReverseMatch will also pop up if the view function you declared
to handle the url is not importable.

ok, the view function I'm using appears to be importable - because if
I remove the line "print item.get_absolute_url()", the view function
is called appropriately, with the odd exception that all instances
where the template is calling "get_absolute_url( )" are resolving to
the same page.

A clue may be that in the application urls.py file, when I replace
"view=blog_views.post_list" with "view=basicBlog.blog.views.post_list"
it claims to not be able to find "basicBlog"

Here's the complete code, I'm quite stuck on this and appreciate your
help:
