I want a Django URL with just 2 alternatives /module/in/ or /module/out/ I’m using But it matches other patterns like /module/i/, /module/n/ and /module/ou/. Any hint is appreciated :) Answer Try r’^(?P<status>in|out)/$’ You need to remove w+, which matches one or more alphanumeric characters or underscores. The regular expression suggested in bstpierre’s answer, ‘^(?P<status>w+(in|out))/$’ will match helloin, good_byeout and so
