How do i map this url

Question

I am using google appengine and cant map this URL "user/test@example.com"

application = webapp.WSGIApplication( [('/user/(\w+)',UsersSubPath)],debug=True)

I dont know why this expression doesnt work. any ideas?

You'll have to widen the scope of your regex. \w only matches [A-Za-z0-9] which excludes the special characters @ and .. For this example you could use:

'/user/([A-Za-z0-9@.]*)'

or

'/user/(\S*)'
