I need to create an endpoint that requires uuid as keyword argument.
With django.urls.path, I could easily do this like path(’/endpoint/< uuid:uuid >/’).
I am curious to know if there’s any equivalent or workaround with django.conf.urls.url.
Or should I use path in this case for ease?

Because original project codebase was all written with url everywhere, I don’t want to overhaul the entire project to replace deprecated url with path or re_path.
And I also don’t want to mix url and path if possible.
That’s why I am trying to find it out.

The equivalent with url would be to match against the regex pattern for a UUID. The regex that the uuid path converter is defined at django/converters.py at 5fcfe5361e5b8c9738b1ee4c1e9a6f293a7dda40 · django/django · GitHub .

In my opinion, it would probably be easier to convert to path than to try to add the regex to an existing url .

I agree whole-heartedly with @mblayman here. If you continue with the pattern of only using url , you’re creating more work to be done later when you need to replace them all with path .
At a minimum, I would use path for all new entries. I would suggest changing url to path in any individual file that you are making these new entries in. But I do agree there’s probably no immediate value in going through your other urls.py files to make changes if you’re not otherwise working in those areas of the code.
