How to redirect to named url pattern directly from urls.py in Python Django?

To redirect to named url pattern directly from urls.py in Python Django, we can call the RedirectView.as_view method.

For instance, we write

from django.views.generic import RedirectView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^some-page/$', RedirectView.as_view(pattern_name='my_named_pattern', permanent=False)),
    #...
)

to add the some-page URL into the urlpatterns.

In it, we call RedirectView.as_view to redirect to the view with the pattern name.

And we set permanent to set whether we want the redirect to be permanent.
