HTML variable inside of String

Question

I'm building a website with Django. I want to have a string url [already done], but I want the string to be changeable based on variables.

sudocode: variable a = "Hello"

url = "www.facebook.com/a" ----> I want the "a" to be changeable, so if it changes, the url goes to a different website.

What is the best way to do this?

thanks

You should use saving groups in your urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^(?P<part>\w*)/$', 'my_app.views.my_view'),
)

Then, in your my_view view the string will appear as a keyword argument:

def my_view(request, part=None):
    print part

Hope that helps.
