NoReverseMatch with Django when the URL exists

In a template, I have {% url "news.views.article" article=article.id %} where article.id is the ID of an article currently being displayed. My urls.py contains this:

url(r'^news/$', 'news.views.index'),
url(r'^news/article/(?P<article>\d{1,4})/$', 'news.views.article'),

However, when I load the page containing the above templatetag, I get this:

NoReverseMatch at /news/
Reverse for '"news.views.article"' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{'article': 2}' not found.

The syntax with quotes around the view name works only for Django 1.5. Since you're probably using an older version, you should remove the quotes, or add in your template:

{% load url from future %}

and then use the quotes.

Try it without the quotes around your view definition.

 {% url news.views.article article=article.id %}

You've already defined the view name, so this should work by calling the function by name.
