Django URLConf setting not working

I've been looking at this now for hours and cannot seem to work out why it's not working. I'm trying to setup a regex to allow the following URL:

/news/monthly/2015/July/

Here is the URLConf setting:

url(r'^news/monthly/(?P<year>\d)/(?P<month>\w+)/$', 'Bolton_GC.News.views.monthlynews', name='monthlynews')

Can anyone spot the mistake because I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance.

Wayne

Use a + quantifier with \d (without it, only 1 digit is matched):

r'^news/monthly/(?P<year>\d+)/(?P<month>\w+)/$'
                           ^

See demo

See Repetition with Star and Plus article for more details about + quantifier:

The plus tells the engine to attempt to match the preceding token once or more.

In the examples, the number is either given with (?P<year>[0-9]{4}) or with \d+ as in :

url(r'^news/monthly/(?P<year>\d+)/(?P<month>\w+)/$', 'Bolton_GC.News.views.monthlynews', name='monthlynews')

Hope it helped!
