Python + Django page redirect

Depending on what you want (i.e. if you do not want to do any additional pre-processing), it is simpler to just use Django's redirect_to generic view:

from django.views.generic.simple import redirect_to

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^one/$', redirect_to, {'url': '/another/'}),

    #etc...
)

See documentation for more advanced examples.

For Django 1.3+ use:

from django.views.generic import RedirectView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^one/$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/another/')),
)

It's simple:

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

def myview(request):
    ...
    return HttpResponseRedirect("/path/")

More info in the official Django docs

Update: Django 1.0

There is apparently a better way of doing this in Django now using generic views.

Example -

from django.views.generic.simple import redirect_to

urlpatterns = patterns('',   
    (r'^one/$', redirect_to, {'url': '/another/'}),

    #etc...
)

There is more in the generic views documentation. Credit - Carles Barrobés.

Update #2: Django 1.3+

In Django 1.5 redirect_to no longer exists and has been replaced by RedirectView. Credit to Yonatan

from django.views.generic import RedirectView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^one/$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/another/')),
)

There's actually a simpler way than having a view for each redirect - you can do it directly in urls.py:

from django.http import HttpResponsePermanentRedirect

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    # ...normal patterns here...
    (r'^bad-old-link\.php',
     lambda request: HttpResponsePermanentRedirect('/nice-link')),
)

A target can be a callable as well as a string, which is what I'm using here.

Since Django 1.1, you can also use the simpler redirect shortcut:

from django.shortcuts import redirect

def myview(request):
    return redirect('/path')

It also takes an optional permanent=True keyword argument.
