passing arguments in the url template tag

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

#views.py:
def action(request, action, key):
    person=get_object_or_404(Person, key)
    return render_to_response(request, 'action.html',  
{'person':person,'action':action})

#urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('myapp.views',
    (r'^$', 'list_people'),
    (r'^(?P<action>.+)/(?P<key>.+)$', 'action'),
     ...)

#person_list.html
<ul>
  {% for person in object_list %}
    <li>
      <a href="{% url myapp.views.show_person key=person.key %}">{{
person.first_name }} {{ person.last_name }}</a>
      <a href="{% url myapp.views.action action='hello',key=person.key
%}">say hello</a>
    </li>
</ul>

When I load the URL person/ which runs the view list_people, I get the error: 
            Could not parse the remainder: ''hello'' from ''hello'

Here is the traceback

I think the problem is that you use single-quote ' instead of double-quote ". 
Django
is very picky about that.

This was indeed the problem... I can't believe I just lost so much time on a 
quote
mistake....

Thx again and sorry for posting this here!
