Since Django's URL pattern matching is done using Python reg-exps, this can't be correct. In fact, \w does not match a hyphen in Python (it matches alphanumeric and underscore only). What you want is "[-A-Za-z0-9_]+". The reason [-\w] doesn't work is because inside character classes ([...]), \w no longer means "alphanumeric characters". It's just a character escape.
