多个网址映射到同一功能

Question

I have this url in my urls.py:

url(r'^showrooms/', include('apps.showrooms.urls')),

and i want to have another url like this(ie w/o 's' of showrooms)

url(r'^showroom/', include('apps.showrooms.urls')),

but having two urls like above results in two urls mapping to same data which is not good from seo perspective.So the solution is to redirect showroom/ urls to showrooms/ urls, but how do i get to this as showrooms/ is pointing to set of urls in apps folder ?

If you want to keep it close to django you can use the redirect shortcut as found in the documentation here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/shortcuts/#redirect

Otherwise this is more like a webserver question, for apache there is mod_rewrite in which you can 301 redirect, and nginx has the rewrite directive which should suit your needs just fine!
