Setting aside any strongly-held feelings about Django vs Flask, I have a whole bunch of Flask-style routes I'd like to convert to Django. They look like your usual Flask routes:
'/foo/<spam>/<int:eggs>/'
This gets even more complex with converters in Flask like path:
'/foo/<path:location>'
So I have all of these routes, and I'd rather not try to figure out regular expressions that approximate them in converting my views. I'm looking to just parse the Flask-style routes in Django. Is there a way to use Flask-style route patterns in Django?

To create a route in Django, we will use the path() function that accepts two parameters: a URL and a View function. All the routes are created inside the urlpatterns list. Simply add a new path as below and a new route will be created.
App Routing means mapping the URLs to a specific function that will handle the logic for that URL. Modern web frameworks use more meaningful URLs to help users remember the URLs and make navigation simpler. Example: In our application, the URL (“/”) is associated with the root URL.
Django runs through each URL pattern, in order, and stops at the first one that matches the requested URL, matching against path_info . Once one of the URL patterns matches, Django imports and calls the given view, which is a Python function (or a class-based view).
route("/") is a Python decorator that Flask provides to assign URLs in our app to functions easily.
Have not personally used it, but this sounds exactly what you are asking about - django-fsu:
Flask-Style URL Patterns for Django
I would though still try to stick to Django URL-routing style and avoid "transitional" solutions like this. You can also use django-fsu temporarily to migrate, then cover all the endpoints with end-to-end and functional tests and, then, once you have the coverage, migrate to the Django native URL routing style.
