how to pass a list between views in django

I have a list in one view that I would like to pass to another view to be parsed. This is what I currently have. The views:

def view1(request):
    if request.method=='POST':
        list = request.POST.values()
        HttpResponseRedirect('/urls/'+ str(lis开发者_运维知识库t)) 

def view2(request, *list):
    #do something with list

the urls:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^urls/$', views.view1),
    url(r'^urls/(?P<list>[-/\w]+)$', views.view2),
)

so the questions are:

1. how do I form the url regex to recognize the list
2. how do I concatenate the list with the rest of the url in the HttpResponseRedirect so that it will read
3. how do i pass the list in the second view (I vaguely remember using * last time I did this but I couldn't find any useful reference material)

EDIT: At the broader level I have a template and view which provide a list of objects in a form. Each object is selected by a checkbox. I have a second view and template that displays data for the selected objects from the first view. I would like the number of objects selected to not be finite or limited but that may not be an option.

As Brandon suggested, posting to the second view was a usable solution. Something along the lines of:

def view2(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        page_list=request.POST.values()
    else:
        HttpResponseRedirect('/urls/')

and then no need for regex in the urls

It definitely is an option. Capture everything post the certain word as a single reg-ex and parse it to different "tags" within your view.
