Yeah...you're right. This is why I should stop responding on my phone when
I'm tired. No idea why I was thinking that non-greedy was default.
In [4]: bool(re.match(r'^blank/.*$', 'blank/abc'))
Out[4]: True
In [5]: bool(re.match(r'^blank/.*$', 'blank/'))
Out[5]: True
Thank you for catching that. Not sure what was going through my head.

And for that I think my statement still stands that Django is stripping the
last portion of the URL as a GET argument. I'm betting that
requests.GET.get('abc') will return '12/' per the last example from the OP.
