如何在Django URL中用-替换％20

Question

I have a url which contains %20 . I want to replace it with - with the help of regex

I already tried replace method

url(r'^timeanalysis/(?P<name>[\w|\W]+)'.replace('%20','-'), timeseries.timeanalysis, name='timeanalysis')

I don't want to change my database.

This is something you need to fix at the point you generate the link, not in the urlconf.

Usually you would use a SlugField that is automatically pre-populated from the title/name, replacing spaces with dashes as necessary.
