python - have a url that accepts all characters

Question

I want a url that accepts all characters,for example:

(r'^company/(?P<key>[a-zA-Z]+)/doclist/$','CompanyHub.views.docList')

for key parameter instead of just ascii alphabetic characters It accepts all characters include numbers,symbols like $,-,_,...,alphabet,unicode characters,...

how can I do this?

Answer 1

Your code should look like this:

(ur'^company/(?P<key>.*)/doclist/$','CompanyHub.views.docList')

We need the 'u' at the beginning to tell python that the string accepts unicode characters.
