Thanks for your code, but may I ask you to describe how to add this and make it work in a Django project? Thanks a lot!

i was using the wrong regex
range_re = re.compile(r'bytess*=s*(d+)s*-s*(d*)', re.I)
after this
range_re = re.compile(r'bytes\s*=\s*(\d+)\s*-\s*(\d*)', re.I)
working absolutely fine .
Thanks
