Django URL Config For Dev and Prod

My django app's urls are setup as follows for my development machine:

urls.py:

urlpatterns = [

url(r'^$', home, name='home'),
url(r'^signin$', signin, name='signin'),
url(r'^signout$', signout, name='signout'),
url(r'^advisor/', include('apps.advisor.urls', namespace='advisor')),

]

This setup works fine while developing the app using Django's builtin server (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8000). I have to deploy the app to a machine and the Django app is exposed by the following url:

http://ip address/appname/

I'd like to have my urls.py file configured so the regular expression in the url tests to see if the url request starts with "appname" or "" (empty string). This method would mean I don't have to create to urls.py files (dev and prod versions). Thanks for any help!

You do not have to do this at all. When your app is deployed via WSGI, the server should pass on the SCRIPT_NAME parameter which identifies the path it is mounted at. As long as you have consistently used {% url %} and reverse() throughout your app rather than hard-coding links, everything will just work.
