Trying to make a cart using django but in views I am passing product id rather than slug because I am adding product to cart directly from homepage

Question

Cart App

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
# Create your views here.

from products.models import Product
from .models import Cart 

def view(request):
   cart = Cart.objects.all()[0]
   context = {"cart": cart}
   template = "cart/view.html"
   return render(request, template, context)

def update_cart(request, id):
   cart = Cart.objects.all()[0]
   try:
       product = Product.objects.get(id=id)
   except Product.DoesNotExist:
       pass
   except:
       pass
   if not product in cart.products.all():
       cart.products.add(product)
   else:
       cart.products.remove(product)

   return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("cart"))

urls.py

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
   # Examples:
    url(r'^$', 'products.views.home', name='home'),
    url(r'^products/$', 'products.views.home', name='products'),
    url(r'^cart/products/$', 'carts.views.update_cart', name='update_cart'),
    url(r'^cart/$', 'carts.views.view', name='cart'),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
) 

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

base.html

   <p><a href='{% url "update_cart" product.id %}' class="btn btn-primary" role="button">Add to cart</a> </p>

According to me there is some fault in the urls.py

Error

You should add regex to catch the ID.

so the URL should be

url(r'^cart/products/(?P<product_id>\d+)$', 'carts.views.update_cart', name='update_cart'),

In urls.py and the use the id in the views.py
