Certainly - The django admin itself does it, for example, bundling
a version of jquery and a bunch of stuff in admin/media/js/

Patterns followed by reusable apps:

The "new way" is to note the "staticfiles" django app [1] for managing
static files is apparently being rolled into django 1.3 for dealing with
such things.  Stick to its expectations (see its docs), and you could
maybe use the addon for 1.2 [1], then migrate to the 1.3 bundled [2]
version when the time comes.

An "old" way (as seen in the <= 1.2 admin*) withoutusing that app is to
bundle them in some subdirectory distributed as part of the app (say
myapp/static/), then write a custom templatetag (say
{%myapp_static_prefix%}) that reads a setting (say
settings.MYAPP_STATIC) for a url prefix, then tell users of myapp to set
up their web server one way or another to serve out that directory** or
a copy of it somewhere or other, and tell them to set the setting to
point at it wherever they're serving from. So say the user serves out
your apps' static files at
http://static.example.com/blah/myapp/
then they set the setting
MYAPP_STATIC = "http://static.example.com/blah/myapp/;
and your template tag reads that setting, then in myapp templates you can do
{% load myapp_tags %}

you need to put it in your media folder.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I'll use regular
expressions.” Now they have two problems.
