I have multiple apps that share almost the same URL patterns, defining almost the same views. Currently i have a urls.py for each app to serve its routing. What i want to do is to group the similar patterns into a single shared_urls.py file then use it in those apps.
To make it easy to understand, suppose (just an example here) i have a blog app and an archive app.
They both define a pattern and view for /post, /comment and /user. So instead of each of them having its own urls.py defining the same pattern, i want to define these patterns in one place then use it in each of the apps, while loading the correct app view.

Current
project urls.py
url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^archive/', include('archive.urls')),
blog urls.py
url(r'^post/', views.post),
url(r'^comment/', views.comment),
url(r'^user/', views.user),
archive urls.py
url(r'^post/', views.post),
url(r'^comment/', views.comment),
As you see the two apps share almost the same patterns but each has its own implemented view.

archive urls.py
