Possible to use url parameters in URL pattern?

I am converting the serverside of a system from PHP to Django and am wodering if it is possible to have urlpatterns that depend on the parameters and not just the URL?

Example: These two urls executes two completely different functions:

/trackme/requests.php?a=upload

/trackme/requests.php?a=gettriplist

As I can not change the clients I would like to have them match two different patterns.

Currently I have to do a big if. I would like it to call directly the correct function from the URL

Thanks

You can't, I'm afraid. The query string is stripped from the URL before any of the regex in your urlconf is matched.

I think your going to have to process the string in your view. 

if 'a' in request.GET:
    if request.GET['a'] == 'upload':
        #...
    elif request.GET['a'] == 'gettriplist':
        #...
