Problem
I would like to add a url namespace to my api router but when I do the router still looks for urls without a namespace: ``` router = DefaultRouter() router.register(r'users', UserViewSet) router.register(r'events', EventViewSet) router.register(r'comments', CommentViewSet) urlpatterns = patterns('apiroot.views', url(r'^', include(router.urls, namespace='api')), ) ``` The browsable api looks for url names like `'user-list'` and `'user-detail'` still instead of `'api:user-list'` which is what I would like to have happen. I'm assuming there is an easy fix for this (it seems like a pretty standard thing to want to do) but I can't find any solution in the django-rest-framework docs. If I'm missing something from the docs, please share a link or if I am approaching this wrong (i.e "why would you do that, it's bad practice" or whatever) please explain why or what the correct way to manage api urls would be. Thanks!
