    <p>I generally understand that the message <code>error: nothing to repeat</code> means there is an issue the some regular expression. However I have been unable to find out where the error is. Below is the regexs in my code:</p> <pre><code># ROOT URL from django.conf import settings from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url # Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin: from django.contrib import admin admin.autodiscover() urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^rango/', include('rango.urls')), url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ) if settings.DEBUG: urlpatterns += patterns( 'django.views.static', (r'media/(?P&lt;path&gt;.*)', 'serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), ) # RANGO APPLICATION URL from django.conf.urls import patterns, url from rango import views urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'), url(r'^about/$', views.about, name='about'), url(r'^add_category/$', views.add_category, name='add_category'), url(r'^category/(?P&lt;category_name_url&gt;\w+)/$', views.category, name='category'),) </code></pre> <p>Thanks</p> <p>EDIT: Added traceback</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 222, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__) File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 250, in execute translation.activate('en-us') File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/__init__.py", line 90, in activate return _trans.activate(language) File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 183, in activate _active.value = translation(language) File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 172, in translation default_translation = _fetch(settings.LANGUAGE_CODE) File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 154, in _fetch app = import_module(appname) File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/importlib.py", line 35, in import_module __import__(name) File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/__init__.py", line 6, in &lt;module&gt; from django.contrib.admin.sites import AdminSite, site File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/sites.py", line 4, in &lt;module&gt; from django.contrib.admin.forms import AdminAuthenticationForm File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/forms.py", line 6, in &lt;module&gt; from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/forms.py", line 14, in &lt;module&gt; from django.contrib.auth.models import User File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/models.py", line 18, in &lt;module&gt; from django.contrib.auth.hashers import ( File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/hashers.py", line 9, in &lt;module&gt; from django.test.signals import setting_changed File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/test/__init__.py", line 6, in &lt;module&gt; from django.test.testcases import (TestCase, TransactionTestCase, File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/test/testcases.py", line 35, in &lt;module&gt; from django.test import _doctest as doctest File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/test/_doctest.py", line 534, in &lt;module&gt; class DocTestParser: File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/test/_doctest.py", line 554, in DocTestParser ''', re.MULTILINE | re.VERBOSE) File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/lib/python2.7/re.py", line 190, in compile return _compile(pattern, flags) File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/tango_with_django/lib/python2.7/re.py", line 242, in _compile raise error, v # invalid expression error: nothing to repeat </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
