What to do they mean by "Make sure the URL is /article/<pk>/"

Heres the question from Django Basics: Add a new url to article/urls.py. The pattern should be "article/" and then the pk argument, which should be one or more digits.

I've got this code here:

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'writer/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.writer_detail),
   --> url(r'article/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.article_list),<--
]

[MOD: added ``` python markdown formatting -cf]

Assuming you're referencing part two of this Challenge, you can add the requested article/pk as below:

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'writer/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.writer_detail),
    url(r'article/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.article_detail),
    url(r'', views.article_list),
]

Hope that helps!

Actualy, I think he may have been talking about task 3...I'm getting the same error for:

def article_detail(request, pk): article = Article.objects.get(pk=pk) article = get_object_or_404(Article, pk=pk) return render(request, 'articles/article_detail.html',{'article': article})

Any ideas why this is no good? The error is that bad PK's should be caught by 404.

Thanks.
