How to exclude a word from a Python regular expression?

Question

Django

Hello! I'm making a SPA application with Django. Url Django is configured to return a single page for any request, where the front-end framework is subsequently embedded, however, because of this, Django does not want to return media files. How can I exclude the string media? in the regular expression so that the back-end returns the main page for any query other than the one that starts with the name of the media folder?
URLs.py:

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

Answer 1

urlpatterns = static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) + [
    url(r'^', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),
]

Answer 2

Django goes through the urls one by one and grabs the first one he comes across.
It is enough to put media_url at the beginning of the list.

Answer 3

instead of doing nonsense
