Upgrading to Django 1.5 Tip

If you're upgraging to Django 1.5 and have old format {% url blah %} links in your templates it can be quite painful to convert to the new format {% url 'blah' %} manually.

Here's a regex you can use to convert all of your templates in one go:

Find: (\{%\surl\s)([^"|'\\][^\s]*)(?:[^"|'\\])*?

Replace: $1 '$2'
