At any point, your urlpatterns can include other URLconf modules. This essentially roots a set of URLs below other ones. For example, here's an excerpt of the URLconf for the Django website itself. It includes a number of other URLconfs:

from django.conf.urls import include, url 
 
urlpatterns = [ 
    # ... 
    url(r'^community/', include('django_website.aggregator.urls')), 
    url(r'^contact/', include('django_website.contact.urls')), 
    # ... 
]

Whenever Django encounters include(), it chops off whatever part of the URL matched up to that point and sends the remaining string to the included URLconf for further ...
