Okay ,this is twice now that somebody's written this. It isn't true!
For quite a while Django has allowed function references as the second
argument in a URL tuple. It makes for slightly safer code (typos get
caught early, for example) and shorter code, too.
As Fredrik Lundh pointed out, the "callable has no attribute rindex"
error points to the original poster using 0.95, rather than 0.96. There
was a problem with callables not involving periods in their
specification (ticket #2875) and it was fixed in r4047 on November 7,
2006 -- a few months after 0.95 was released.
