django url no reverse match

Question

I am trying to pass two parameters through the url in django (email,name) it works fine when I am just passing the email through but when I pass the name through as well I get an error (no reverse match) my name contains a space

url pattern

url(r'^details/(?P<email>[\w.%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4})/(?P<name>([\W ]+))/$', details, name="details")

full error message

Reverse for 'password' with arguments '(u'tom@example.com', u'tom')' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['details/(?P<email>[\\w.%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,4})/(?P<name>([\\W ]+))/$

passing variable through to the url

{%url 'details' email name %}

What is the exact error you are getting. When working with multiple variable you can try the following.

{%url 'details' email=email name=name %}

Update:

url(r'^details/(?P<email>[\w.%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4})/(?P<name>([\W ]+))/$', details, name="details")

Can you try if the value you are trying to pass matches the regex properly. – Bipul Jain Feb 26 '17 at 10:02
the value I am passing in the name has a space – Percy3872 Feb 26 '17 at 10:08
Updated the regex. – Bipul Jain Feb 26 '17 at 10:11
when I copied your updated code in I get a syntax error – Percy3872 Feb 26 '17 at 10:15
Sorry I copied from yours and only updated the relevant one. You need to update only the regex associated with your name variable. – Bipul Jain Feb 26 '17 at 10:17
I do not get a syntax error anymore, although I still get the no reserve match error – Percy3872 Feb 26 '17 at 10:24

You probably want to change

(?P<name>(\W+))  # non-alphanumeric

to

(?P<name>\w+)  # alphanumeric

The upper-case version is, one would assume, the exact opposite of what you want to allow for names (and urls in general).

Python regex syntax docs.

What characters are in the name that you are passing? – user2390182 Feb 26 '17 at 10:07
You also might want to remove the extra parentheses. – user2390182 Feb 26 '17 at 10:09
