Neither :)
It appears that CherryPy 2.2 specifically ensures that you have
absolute paths. There's probably a good reason for this change. You
should be able to convert your config files to the new format pretty
easily and then use the absfile function to get an absolute path to
your static files at runtime. To convert your file:
1) rename dev.cfg to devcfg.py and prod.cfg to prodcfg.py
2) change [pathname] to path("pathname")
Then, you can say
static_filter.dir = absfile("yourpackage", "static")
