The key to keep in mind here is that, generally speaking, TG doesn't work with directories. URLs map to objects in the Python name space (truth be told, for a while I've been angling to make this more explicit with static directories, which are currently configured via the config file -- I'd like them to be represented by objects you drop into your object hierarchy). When you call register_static_directory, TurboGears tells CherryPy to "mount" your static directory at a certain point in the URL space. It happens to start that off with "tg_widgets", as I said in the earlier message, to ensure that the widget names don't conflict with your controller methods by some weird chance. > This is what would seem to make sense. > <LINK MEDIA="all" HREF="/myproj/static/css/mywidget.css" > TYPE="text/css" REL="stylesheet"> In this particular example, you *could* get to that by going to /static/css/mywidget.css, because quickstart automatically registers that static directory with CherryPy. However, there isn't anything in CherryPy that would be answering to the "myproj" part. The key point to take away: in a traditional website, URLs map to files and directories. In a web application, URLs can map to *anything* files, directories, python objects...
