Routing from Django to Angular route

Issue

I have a Django backend and an Angular frontend.
I am using a package called django-invitations. When a user receives an invitation in an email they click on it and are taken to the app. django-invitations requires this line in settings.py

INVITATIONS_SIGNUP_REDIRECT = 'register'

This is the name of a route and reverse match is used to determine where to go.
The problem is I want the user to be taken to my sign-up page which is

http://example.com/#/registration

This is an Angular route.
My urls.py contains this line

url(r'^register', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='index.html'), name='register'),

This however takes the user to my index page and the url becomes

http://example.com/registration#/

How do I route a request from my Django backend to an Angular route with hash notation?

Solution

Got it!

Changed the line in urls.py to

url(r'^register/', views.redirect_to_register, name='register'),

Added a views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.shortcuts import redirect

def redirect_to_register(request):
    return redirect('/#/register')

And it works.
