Ideally you'd use h,url_for for this, and it would automatically
adjust the URLs. However, the current version of Routes does not
properly handle routes to the public directory (which are neither
regular routes nor "static named routes"). This will be improved in
the next version. In the meantime, you may be able to get by with:
h.url_for("images/something.gif")
but there's a possibility it may choose the wrong route and generate a
different URL.
Check back here if that doesn't work.
Why do you need the prefix? Are you combining this app with other
Pylons or Paste applications in the same site? If so, are they
sharing the same process or each in their own processes? Or is this
the only Python application in the site? Depending on your situation,
I think there's a Python confing variable that sets the prefix without
you having to use the convoluted app-prefix filter. The only time you
absolutely have to use that filter is when combining multiple Paste
applications in the same process.
