1195773 - django deprecations: urls, reverse, dotted paths

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Elmo, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Once we're on 1.8, let's do the invasive stuff for deprecations, this one is for 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/releases/1.8/#django-conf-urls-patterns
and
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/releases/1.8/#passing-a-dotted-path-to-reverse-and-url

patterns() dies, url() stops taking 'something.view.other', reverse() stops taking 'something.view.other'.

Which I find sad, but such is life. More context in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/django-developers/reverse/django-developers/zTGP3Bs6uKE/_UDdcU70l44J.

bug 1195773, urlpatterns are deprecated in django, dotted paths are deprecated

* replace urlpatterns with lists of url().
* remove dotted path from {% url %}

Also use the named urls consistently in python code.
And for the cases where it makes sense, use a namespace.

bug 1195773, follow-up, move remaining ClassView.as_view() into urls.py
