Passing strings instead of callable objects
===========================================
It is possible to pass a string containing the path to a view rather than the
actual Python function object. This alternative is supported for the time
being, though is not recommended and will be removed in a future version of
Django.
For example, given this URLconf using Python function objects::
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from mysite.views import archive, about, contact
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^archive/$', archive),
url(r'^about/$', about),
url(r'^contact/$', contact),
)
You can accomplish the same thing by passing strings rather than objects::
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^archive/$', 'mysite.views.archive'),
url(r'^about/$', 'mysite.views.about'),
url(r'^contact/$', 'mysite.views.contact'),
)
The following example is functionally identical. It's just a bit more compact
because it imports the module that contains the views, rather than importing
each view individually::
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from mysite import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^archive/$', views.archive),
url(r'^about/$', views.about),
url(r'^contact/$', views.contact),
)
Note that :doc:`class based views</topics/class-based-views/index>` must be

Passing callable objects instead of strings
===========================================
Some developers find it more natural to pass the actual Python function object
rather than a string containing the path to its module. This alternative is
supported -- you can pass any callable object as the view.
For example, given this URLconf in "string" notation::
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^archive/$', 'mysite.views.archive'),
url(r'^about/$', 'mysite.views.about'),
url(r'^contact/$', 'mysite.views.contact'),
)
You can accomplish the same thing by passing objects rather than strings. Just
be sure to import the objects::
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from mysite.views import archive, about, contact
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^archive/$', archive),
url(r'^about/$', about),
url(r'^contact/$', contact),
)
The following example is functionally identical. It's just a bit more compact
because it imports the module that contains the views, rather than importing
each view individually::
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from mysite import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^archive/$', views.archive),
url(r'^about/$', views.about),
url(r'^contact/$', views.contact),
)
The style you use is up to you.
Note that if you use this technique -- passing objects rather than strings --
the view prefix (as explained in "The view prefix" above) will have no effect.
Note that :doc:`class based views</topics/class-based-views/index>` must be
