How do i pass parameters to a class based view in django?

I have the following class based view;

class myClassView():
    def get(self):
        # lots of code ...
        return response

My urlconf for this looks like

(r^'call_myClassView/', myClassView.as_view())

I want to pass parameters to the urlconf the old functional way

(r'call_myClassView/(?P<id>\w+)/$',myClassView.as_view())

How do i pass parameters to my urlconf and how do i receive the parameter in my class view.

They are passed in the old way.

You access them via self.args and self.kwargs, for positional and keyword arguments respectively. In your case, self.kwargs['id'] would do the trick.

Edit because you've overridden get() but not preserved the signature. If you're overriding a method, always do def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs).
