 Here is a quote from the Django manual
 [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/url_dispatch/]
 
 ----
 == Including other URLconfs ==
 
 At any point, your urlpatterns can "include" other URLconf modules. This
 essentially "roots" a set of URLs below other ones.
 
 For example, here's the URLconf for the Django website itself. It includes
 a number of other URLconfs: {{{ from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
 }}}
 
 {{{
 urlpatterns = patterns('',
     (r'^weblog/',        include('django_website.apps.blog.urls.blog')),
     (r'^documentation/', include('django_website.apps.docs.urls.docs')),
     (r'^comments/',
 include('django.contrib.comments.urls.comments')),
 )
 }}}
 
 Note that the regular expressions in this example don't have a $ (end-of-
 string match character) but do include a trailing slash. Whenever Django
 encounters include(), it chops off whatever part of the URL matched up to
 that point and sends the remaining string to the included URLconf for
 further processing.
 ----
 
 OK, so I need to make some of my views reusable between different sites
 but I need them to be under different "roots". As an example I use the
 contrib.comments module...
 
 In site 1:
 
 {{{
 urlpatterns = patterns("",
     (r'^comments/', include('django.contrib.comments.urls.comments')),
     # ... other URL's here...
 )
 }}}
 
 In site 2:
 
 {{{
 urlpatterns = patterns("",
     (r'^feedback/', include('django.contrib.comments.urls.comments')),
     # ... other URL's here...
 )
 }}}
 
 I was trying to find a way for redirects to work in my views so that the
 redirects work no matter where the URL's were rooted using {{{ include()
 }}}. I could not find any obvious way from the documentation so I poked
 around in the source for django.contrib.comments.views.userflags. I found
 the following:
 
 {{{ return HttpResponseRedirect('%sdone/' % request.path) }}}
 
 I think the above information should be included in the documentation for
 "Including other URLconfs" or perhaps
 [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/tutorial03/#simplifying-
 the-urlconfs]. The current wording seems to imply that once the "root" has
 been chopped off that information is simply "gone".
 
 While this info is found in the source, like any sensible user I always go
 to look into the Documentation *before* poking around in the source.
