The code above maps URLs, as simple `regular expressions`_, to the location of
Python callback functions ("views"). The regular expressions use parenthesis to
"capture" values from the URLs. When a user requests a page, Django runs
through each pattern, in order, and stops at the first one that matches the
requested URL. (If none of them matches, Django calls a special-case 404 view.)
This is blazingly fast, because the regular expressions are compiled at load
time.

Once one of the regexes matches, Django imports and calls the given view, which
is a simple Python function. Each view gets passed a request object --
