You can do this by putting a public directory inside your public
directory. If Pylons did this by default, people wouldn't be able to
put static files at the top level, including /robots.txt and
/favicon.ico which must be at the top level.
You can also use FileApp or DirectoryApp from paste.fileapp to serve a
static file from any controller. I've only done it with FileApp.
def attachment(self, orr_id, entry_id, filename, environ, start_response):
"""Display an attachment or thumbnail.
Attachments are in the directory indicated by the "attachments_dir"
config option. A particular attachment will be under the relative
path: orr_id/entry_id/filename .
Thumbnails are named "FILENAME_thumb200.jpg", and are always JPG.
TODO: client-side caching.
"""
orr_id = self._int_id(orr_id, "incident ID", 404)
entry_id = self._int_id(entry_id, "entry ID", 404)
self._REQUIRE_PERM("view_incident", orr_id=orr_id)
attachments = config["attachments_dir"]
path = Path(attachments, orr_id, entry_id, filename)
app = FileApp(path)
return app(environ, start_response)
'orr_id', 'entry_id', and 'filename' are routing variables from the
URL path. 'environ' and 'start_response' are special arguments you
can use in any controller action to return a WSGI application from an
action. The first two lines verify the first two args are numeric and
convert them to integers. The third line checks the user's
permission. The fourth line reads the attachments root directory from
the configuration. The ffifth line uses Path from the Unipath
package, which is essentially doing the same thing as os.path.join.
The sixth line creates a FileApp instance with the absolute path of
the static file. The seventh line serves the file.
With DirectoryApp, you can instantiate it with the root directory, but
then I'm not sure how to pass the relative path when you call it. It
reads the relative path from PATH_INFO, but I'm not sure how you get
just {*url} without the part of the URL that pointed to the action
without rewriting environ['PATH_INFO'] manually.
