Django/Python URL Regex of form "string#1"

Question

I would like to match URL string "anything#1" in django. My regular expression goes like this:

r'^(?P<title>\w+[_]*)?/#(?P<id>\d+)/$'

The "#1" part should be optional, so I put question mark there. However it shows me an error. What am I doing bad?

Django doesn't control signet (or fragment), you can get it in your view with HttpRequest.get_full_path() :

Get it only with :

 >>> request.get_full_path().split('#')[1]
 '1'
