How to use reverse() from django.core.urlresolvers.reverse

How do you use the reverse() from django.core.urlresolvers.reverse at the command line? I want to debug what is going wrong in my Django application. I am not sure if it is happening at the views, the urls or the html template page.

I have the command line open in the directory of the project, but it doesn't recognize my commands (which I am borrowing from the Django-Project page).

If your urls.py file consists on something like this:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', 'views.recent', name='recent'),
    url(r'^recent/(?P<page>\d+)$', 'views.recent', name='recent')
)

using python manage.py shell in your project directory you do the following:

>>> from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
>>> reverse('recent')
'/recent'

you can pass specific parameters passing a list as args or a dictionary as kwargs

>>> reverse('recent', args=[1])
'/recent/1'
>>> reverse('recent', kwargs={'page': 2})
'/recent/2'

check the doc on reverse for your particular version of Django.
