Django return redirect() with parameters

Question

In my view function I want to call another view and pass data to it :

return redirect('some-view-name', backend, form.cleaned_data) 

, where backend is of registration.backends object, and form.cleaned_data is a dict of form data (but both must be either sent as *args or **kwargs to prevent raising Don't mix *args and **kwargs in call to reverse()! error). From what I've found in the docs :

def my_view(request):     ...     return redirect('some-view-name', foo='bar') 

It looks like I need to provide 'some-view-name' argument, but is it just the name of the view function, or the name of the url ? So I would like to make it similar to the way it's done in django-registration, where :

to, args, kwargs = backend.post_registration_redirect(request, new_user) return redirect(to, *args, **kwargs)  def post_registration_redirect(self, request, user):     return ('registration_complete', (), {}) 

Ok so now, can I call directly my view function or do I need to provide a url for it ? And what more important, how my funciotn call (and a url if needed) should look like ? Both backend, and cleaned_data are just passed through this view for a later usage. I've tried this, but it's improper :

url(r'^link/$', some-view-name)    def some-view-name(request, *args): 

As well as this :

return redirect('some_url', backend=backend, dataform.cleaned_data)  url(r'^link/$', some-view-name)     def some-view-name(request, backend, data): 

still NoReverseMatch . But in django-registration, I've seen something like this :

url(r'^register/$',register,{'backend': 'registration.backends.default.DefaultBackend'}, name='registration_register'),  def register(request, backend, success_url=None, form_class=None,              disallowed_url='registration_disallowed',              template_name='user/login_logout_register/registration_form.html',              extra_context=None):

urls.py:

#...     url(r'element/update/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', 'element.views.element_update', name='element_update'), 

views.py:

from django.shortcuts import redirect from .models import Element   def element_info(request):     # ...     element = Element.object.get(pk=1)     return redirect('element_update', pk=element.id)  def element_update(request, pk)     # ...
