Django urlpatterns not matching

Question

I've been trying everything, but I can't get these numbers to match. Am I missing anything here? Like a non-default module?

    Page not found (404)
    Request Method: GET
    Request URL:    http://example.com/blog/1/1/1/
    Using the URLconf defined in blog.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
    ^blog/(?P\d{4})/(?P\d{2})/(?P\d{2})/$
    ^blog/(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)/$
    The current URL, , didn't match any of these.

Also, my urls.py file:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url                                                  
import views                                                                                         
from views import hello_world, date_try, blog_test                                                   

urlpatterns = patterns('',                                                                           
    url(r'^blog/(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{2})/(?P<day>\d{2})/$', views.date_try),                 
    url(r'^blog/(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)/$', 'date_try'),                                                   
)                                                                                                    

Answer 1

I think \d{4} is only going to match exactly 4 digits. Try \d{1,4}.

It looks like Django thinks your URL is empty. How are you running Django? Is this answer useful?
