regex - Need help with regular expression -

i using django application , needed pattern matching

pattern matched: users/?q=john regular expression : '^users/\?q\=(?p[\w]+)[/]?$'

like in urls.py

url(r'^users/\?q\=(?p[\w]+)[/]?$', user_handler, {'emitter_format' : 'json'})

however it's not matching url, pointers helpful.

thanks

in cgi, after ? put request.get , not url matching - take here:

• http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/

in handler (user_handler), can use:

request.get['q'] 

to john above sample url.
