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<path>.*)$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/new_path/%(path)s')),
]

The ?P<path> 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.

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

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

Since Django 1 1  you can also use the simpler redirect shortcut   from django shortcuts import redirect  def myview request       return redirect   path     It also takes an optional permanent True keyword argument

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

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 lt location id gt  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
