This should work in most versions of django, I am using it in 1.6.5:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ....
    url(r'^(?P<location_id>\d+)/$', lambda x, location_id: HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('dailyreport_location', args=[location_id])), name='location_stats_redirect'),
    ....
)

You can still use the name of the url pattern instead of a hard coded url with this solution. The location_id parameter from the url is passed down to the lambda function.

Depending on what you want  i e  if you do not want to do any additional pre-processing   it is simpler to just use Django s redirect to generic view   from django views generic simple import redirect to  urlpatterns   patterns          r  one     redirect to    url     another            etc        See documentation for more advanced examples     For Django 1 3  use   from django views generic import RedirectView  urlpatterns   patterns          r  one     RedirectView as view url   another

If you want to redirect a whole subfolder  the url argument in RedirectView is actually interpolated  so you can do something like this in urls py   from django conf urls defaults import url from django views generic import RedirectView  urlpatterns         url r  old   P lt path gt        RedirectView as view url   new path   path s           The  P lt path gt  you capture will be fed into RedirectView   This captured variable will then be replaced in the url argument you gave  giving us  new path yay mypath if your original path was  old yay mypath   You can also do     as view url        query string True  if you want to copy the query string over as well

There s actually a simpler way than having a view for each redirect - you can do it directly in urls py   from django http import HttpResponsePermanentRedirect  urlpatterns   patterns                   normal patterns here         r  bad-old-link  php        lambda request  HttpResponsePermanentRedirect   nice-link         A target can be a callable as well as a string  which is what I m using here

Beware   I did this on a development server and wanted to change it later     Firefox 5   39 caching  39  301 redirects   I had to clear my caches to change it   In order to avoid this head-scratching in the future  I was able to make it temporary like so   from django views generic import RedirectView  url r  source    RedirectView as view permanent False                                         url   dest
