I think that one also matches upto one whitespace character(space, tab or newline) within the username(The \s).

Thanks a lot for your reply. I just found an regex from some blog which is as follows

(r'^user/([\w\'\.\-]+\s?[\w\'\.\-]+)/$','accounts.views.userProfile'),

and this seems to be working fine. Have not tested all the use cases for this regex, but anyway username with . (dot) is working fine now.

I'm not sure, but I think this should work - try it out and let us know.

r'^user/([\w\-+.@]+)/$'

I'm not too good with regexes, either. No one is. Also, characters like "+" are encoded in URLs - so you might want to think of that.

Hello All,

I need some urgent help with this one. Am trying to show a user profile when the user navigates to a url of this format 

http://example.com/user/<username>

I have provided the following expression in my urls.py file

(r'^user/(\w+)/$','accounts.views.userProfile'),

this working fine for normal usernames, but if the user add a . (dot) in between his username the url do not match with the regex and throws Page not found error.

Since the django username supports  Letters, digits and @/./+/-/_  i want all these to be supported in my url. Could someone please help me to construct the url. Am pretty weak in regex and it will take me sometime to build a proper regex for the above url. Thanks

Regards,
