Django URL use string in regex

Question

Currently my regex takes a question id like so (working):

url(r'^(?P<college_id>[0-9]+)/$', views.detail, name="detail")

But I want it to instead take college_name which is a string with no spaces. How would I set that up?

You could use r'^(?P<college_name>\w+)/$'

This is a great tool for testing regular expressions: https://regex101.com/r/q6fWPl/1
