Serving static files from a web.py + gevent server

[Alexandre Rames]

Hello,

I am a beginner with webservers and gevent.

Using gevent with my web.py server prevents it from serving files located in /static, which it normally does by default.

I hacked it by adding a   '/static/(.*)', 'static' path with a class getting the correct files.

Is there a way to keep that automatic? Maybe a parameter when building the WSGI server?

Thanks!

urls = (

  '/', 'index',

  '/static/(.*)', 'static'    # I don't want that

)

class index:

  def GET(self:

    # the rendered index includes    <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/jquery.js"></script>

    return render.index()

class static:

  deg GET(self, name):

    return open('static/%s' % name)

if __name__ == "__main__":

  # That works without the additional static url and class.

  #web.application(urls,globals()).run()

  # That does not work without the 'static' additional code.

  application = web.application(urls, globals()).wsgifunc()

  print 'Serving on 8080...'

  WSGIServer(('localhost', 8080), application).serve_forever()
