From 59c3ebc6dddab2a52b5c4079fb78871b35b5dcaa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Greatly improved the 404 error message when DEBUG=True. If
none of the urlpatterns matches, Django now displays a list of all the
urlpatterns it tried. This should catch a lot of newbie errors, and it's
helpful even for power users.
