Django Project - handling call to the "root" url?

I need to handle a call to the root url for a site more elegantly than my current.

At the moment I have:

#urls.py

    (r'^$', 'myproj.myapp.views.root'),

    #and

    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

#views.py

def root(request):

    """Handle a call to the / (root) URL address"""

    return redirect('/admin/')

This works, but the extra "admin/" that has been added sticks out like a sore thumb on address bar the main page (which doubles as the login page).

However, when I alter the root() function to:

def root(request):

    return render_to_response('admin/login.html', None)

    

This causes a loop condition i.e. displays the page OK, but trying to login just redisplays the page... any ideas how to make this work as intended?

Thanks

Derek
