How to configure Django to redirect multiple slashes (/) to single slash

Question

How can I configure my Django project to redirect multiple slashes (symbol /) to a single slash?

For example, I want to issue a HTTP response code 301 redirect for this URL

https://mywebsite.com/path//to//id///

and redirect it to:

https://mywebsite.com/path/to/id/

How could that be done?

What WSGI server are you using? Production hosting mechanisms such as Apache/mod_wsgi will collapse such repeating slashes in paths and you will never see them, thus you don't need to have special handling for them. — Graham Dumpleton, Jul 09 '18 at 22:22

In Django 2: using re_path

from django.urls import re_path

re_path(r'^bar/(?P<foo>[/\w]+)/$', views.bio, name='bio' ),
