Question mark in Django URL Mapping

When I type the following as the normal python function, it returns the correct things:

>>> pattern = re.compile(r'^account_activation\?user_id=(?P<user_id>[0-9]+)&auth_key=(?P<auth_key>[0-9a-zA-Z]+)$')

>>> match = pattern.match("account_activation?user_id=36&auth_key=f9717d96aa4e3452a47955225a60862d07119702")

>>> match.groupdict()

{'auth_key': 'f9717d96aa4e3452a47955225a60862d07119702', 'user_id': '36'}

However, when I do this in the Django URL mapping:

url(r'^account_activation?user_id=(?P<user_id>[0-9]+)&auth_key=(?P<auth_key>[0-9a-zA-Z]+)$',

      'activate_registration'),

It seems like the question mark is causing the url mapping not found issue.

Does anyone know why.

Thanks very much

Best regards
