I fully agree that this is a problem. If you write "/articles/<int:year>/" I think the expectation is that year will be sent in as an int, not a string. So the int serves as two different things: a validator and a typecast. Tim Graham: Does this change your view that this should be done outside of core? Do you buy the argument that beginners are unlikely to install third party packages when learning django? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
