Django URL pattern doesn't work

I have my urls.py included like this:

urlpatterns = [
    path('files/', include('files.urls')),
]

then, in files/urls.py, I put this:

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index'),
    path(r'(?P<name>[a-z]+)', views.check, name='check')
]

So, I assume that when example.com/files works, so should example.com/files/somename, but it doesn't:

Using the URLconf defined in example.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

[name='index']
files/ [name='index']
files/ (?P<name>[a-z]+) [name='check']

The current path, files/somename, didn't match any of these.

What am I missing here?

You don't need to use regexp with path method. Instead you can simply specify str as argument type:

path('<str:name>/', views.check, name='check')

If you want to use regular expression, use re_path:

re_path(r'(?P<name>[a-z]+)', views.check, name='check')
