Passing default arguments to class based views

Im trying to come up with a basic CRUD, nested resource implementation.

I cant figure out how to pass a default argument (the content type id, in my case) to the view class.

Below is what Ive used. Any pointers to accomplish this, or if this is total crap, any better way to 

accomplish this?

    urlpatterns = patterns('',
       url (
           regex = '^/?$',
           view =  ParentResourceListView.as_view(),
           name = 'parent_resource_list'
       ),
    
   url (
           regex = r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/$',
           view =  ParentResourceDetailView.as_view(),
           name = 'parent_resource_detail'
       ),
       url (
           regex = r'^new/$',
           view =  ParentResourceCreateView.as_view(),
           name = 'parent_resource_create'
       ),
    
   url (
           regex = '^(?P<pk>\d+)/delete/$',
           view =  ParentResourceDeleteView.as_view(),
           name = 'parent_resource_delete'
       ),
       url (
           regex = '^(?P<pk>\d+)/edit/$',
           view =  ParentResourceUpdateView.as_view(),
           name = 'parent_resource_update'
       ),
    )
    

urlpatterns += patterns('',
                       url (
        regex = r'^(?P<object_id>\d+)/child_resources$',
        view =  ChildResourceListView.as_view(),
        name = 'parent_resource_child_resource_list',
        kwargs = {
            "content_type",
            ContentType.objects.get_for_model(ParentResource).id
            }
        ),
                       url (
        regex = r'^(?P<object_id>\d+)/child_resources/(?P<pk>\d+)/$',
        view =  ChildResourceDetailView.as_view(),
        name = 'parent_resource_child_resource_detail',
        kwargs = {
            "content_type",
            ContentType.objects.get_for_model(ParentResource).id
            }
        ),
                       url (
        regex = r'^(?P<object_id>\d+)/child_resources/new/$',
        view =  ChildResourceCreateView.as_view(),
        name = 'parent_resource_child_resource_create',
        kwargs={
            "content_type",
            ContentType.objects.get_for_model(ParentResource).id
            }
        ),
    
                   url (
        regex = '^(?P<object_id>\d+)/child_resource/(?P<pk>\d+)/delete/$',
        view =  ChildResourceDeleteView.as_view(),
        name = 'parent_resource_child_resource_delete',
        kwargs={
            "content_type",
            ContentType.objects.get_for_model(ParentResource).id
            }
        ),
                       url (
        regex = '^(?P<object_id>\d+)/child_resource/(?P<pk>\d+)/edit/$',
        view =  ChildResourceUpdateView.as_view(),
        name = 'parent_resource_child_resource_update',
        kwargs={
            "content_type",
            ContentType.objects.get_for_model(ParentResource).id
            }
        ),
                       )
