Single character parameter issue in Django url

I have the following urlpattern:

url(r'exp/users/(?P<userid>\w.+)/$', 'myapp.views.users_view_by_id', name='users_id'),

When userid is a single digit (eg '1') I get a 404 Page Not Found but when it is more than a single digit the page responds as expected (eg '10').

So '../exp/users/10/' works fine but '.../exp/users/1/' returns a 404.

You have an extra . in your regex.

\w.+ means "one alphanumeric character, then one or more of any character". What you want is just \w+, which means "one or more alphanumeric characters".

Edit

If you want to include a literal "." in the characters that can be accepted, use square brackets to define a class:

(?P<userid>[\w.]+)

If you want to match one or more digits, then use (?P<userid>\d+).

Your current regex requires one character to match \w', followed by at least one character to match .+.
