django urls without a trailing slash do not redirect
Or you can write your urls like this:
(r'^login/?$', 'mySite.myUser.views.login')The question sign after the trailing slash makes it optional in regexp. Use it if for some reasons you don't want to use APPEND_SLASH setting.
check your APPEND_SLASH setting in the settings.py file
This improves on @Michael Gendin's answer. His answer serves the identical page with two separate URLs. It would be better to have login automatically redirect to login/, and then serve the latter as the main page:
from django.conf.urls import patternsfrom django.views.generic import RedirectViewurlpatterns = patterns('', # Redirect login to login/ (r'^login$', RedirectView.as_view(url = '/login/')), # Handle the page with the slash. (r'^login/', "views.my_handler"),)
