Thanks Mike!
FileApp and forward did the trick. I ended up storing my user-
uploaded files in a subdirectory ("files") of my Pylons project root
directory. And I added my own authentication decorators to both the
view() and retrieve() actions of FileController so that
unauthenticated guests cannot access the files.
My one reservation is that I don't really understand the routes
configuration that you suggested:
# Route
map.connect("file", "/my_url/{path:.*}", controller="mycontroller",
action="my_action")
But that's understandable seeing as I haven't yet learned more than
the basics of the Routes system.
I ended up using the following, which seems to work fine for my
purposes (I guess because I am storing all my files in the "files"
directory without any subdirectories):
# Route
map.connect('/file/retrieve/{path}', controller='file',
action='retrieve')
And I reference my files from within my Mako templates via:
${h.url_for(controller='file', action='retrieve', path=fileName)}
Thanks again for the help,
Joel
