Perhaps try adding a URL pattern like the following:
(r^(?P<user_name>\w+)/$', 'project.views.user_page')
Your view function (called "user_page") will now accept "user_name" as
an argument in addition to the request object. I should warn you that
using that regular expression could be dangerous, as it'll accept any
string past the root url. That having been said, I'm sure there's a
better way to do this, but this should get you started.
