how can django view access url pattern?

In my urls.py, I direct traffic like this:

url(r'^basic/', 'mysite.views.basicHandler', name='basic'),

Which is handled in my views.py like this:

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response as dr2r

def basicHandler( request ):
    rc = RequestContext(request, {
        "cdn_url" : settings.CDN_BASE_URL,
        "cdn_home" : settings.CDN_SITE_PATH
    })
    return dr2r( 'basic.html', {}, context_instance=rc )

My question is, how can my views handler (basicHandler) access the url pattern (r'^basic/')? Is that inside of the request object?

Yes, you can get it from the request.META object.

referer = request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER')

Alternatively, you can resolve the URL using reverse() method

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

url = reverse('basic')
