Getting Images to display in Development Environment

[Vincent]

I am new to Django and Python and trying to learn by going thru an
open source application called Vection. I get everything up and
running except for the static images. I followed the article at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/static_files/ put I still
can't get the images to serve. Could you tell what I am doing wrong?

Enivornment:
Windows using the django web server

Application:
Absolute Path: C:\development\Vection
Code: C:\Development\Vection\vection_01

Image location: C:\Development\vection\media\

Settings.py:
(I have two, one in C:\Development\vection\ and C:\Development\vection
\vection_01 both match)
MEDIA_ROOT = 'C:/Development/vection/media/'

# URL that handles the media served from MEDIA_ROOT.
# Example: "http://media.lawrence.com"
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

URLs.py:
#Dev Media Server
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': 'C:\Development\Vection\media', 'show_indexes':
True}),


URL: http://127.0.01:8000/vection/login/
Image: http://127.0.01:8000/media/images/login/login_tmp_r1_c1.png
(physcial loc: C:\Development\Vection\media\images\login\

Thanks for your help!

Vincent, it doesn't appear anyone responded to your query here. The
reason is that this list is actually for the development of django
itself. For questions that relate to the use of django, such as this,
use the django-users list instead. Take this question there or pop
into the irc channel (#python on irc.freenode.net) to get the help
you're looking for, if indeed you're still stuck.

I think you mean #django on irc.freenode.net :)

No, I meant #python, because you're almost always in #django.  :-P

Good catch.
