Understanding the Django user interface – admin, views, templates, and URLs

A view inside a Django application generally performs a specific function and renders the results to a specific template. So, each view is a simple Python function or class method. Django will select a suitable view by examining the requested URL. Django URL patterns are very elegant; they are the general form of a URL. In order to select a view from the URL, Django uses a set of patterns called URLconfs. A URLconf will map URL patterns to their corresponding views.
