How to decode URL with Persian slug in Django 2.0?

I have an archive view that using Persian slug like:

چینیها-خورشید-مصنوعی-هم-ساختند

with this url pattern:

urlpatterns = [
    ...

    path('archive/<str:slug>/', views.ArchiveDetailView.as_view(),

    ...
]

models.py:

class Archive(models.Model):
    ...

    slug = models.SlugField(_('Slug'), max_length=128, unique=True, allow_unicode=True)

    ...

views.py:

class ArchiveDetailView(DetailView):
    model = Archive

    def get_object(self, queryset=None):
        slug = self.kwargs.get(self.slug_url_kwarg)
        return get_object_or_404(self.model, slug=slug)

This work fine in local with Django built-in web server. But when I deploy site on my host (cPanel) return 404 error (only for Persian slug).

I think I find the problem, but I don't know how to fix it?

Problem is when slug in Persian, web server (Apache) or Django can't decode URL.

The best way for using Persian slug is to use regular expressions, it is better for decoding and it may solve your problem.


form django.urls import re_path
from . import views


urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r'(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/', views.detail),
]

or if you want to add more item for url dispatching you can use below example.

re_path(r'detail/(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/', views.detail)
