myview should be in the views.py of your app. The urlpatterns above is
pointing to some django views file. You shouldn't edit the django
source if you can avoid it.
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{2})/(?P<day>\d{2})/(?P<slug>[\w\d\-]
+)/$', "myapp.views.myview", dict(entry_info_dict, month_format='%m',
template_object_name='entry')),
)
Not sure if that caused your 404. They are usually caused by missing
data (if you used incorrect slug in url), or if regex in urlpatterns is
wrong. Turning debug=True in your settings.py should give you more
information on why there is 404's.
