nppe url is obsolete and removed in 4.x.
You can use re_path, which is a kind of replacement but even then you will
need to adjust the regex in many cases.
The best approach is to understand what the url() is doing, and replicate
the same using path(). Once you do, the conversions should be more or less
straight-forward. Instead of regex you use labelled patterns making for
more comprehensible path lines. For complex regex expressions you may need
to define custom matches - or "converters" - that enforce specific patterns
allowing you to restrict input and improve matching. This is one area that
Django has improved really well over time.
But, like I said, don't try to replace this file wholesale. Instead of
converting it and doing error-fix-error-fix ad infinitun, re-implement
things as you enable parts of the app you have successfully ported. While
re_path may be a fallback, try to re-implement as path() expressions and
you'll be better in the long run.
