On my server, the following works for both links:
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img src="images/my-logo.png">
<img src="/app2/static/images/my-logo.png">
</body>
My global routes.py sets (using the "simple router" example)
routers = dict(
# base router
BASE=dict(default_application='appOne',
root_static = ['favicon.ico, 'robots.txt'])
and I used "app2/static/test-ess.html" to load the page.
I also copied the html to appOne (already had the same logo in static
images), and "static/test-ess.html" worked there; both copies of the logo
were displayed.
If you have a lot of static files, or some of them are large, you may want
to see if you can serve them with your front-end. I have a vague idea that
PythonAnywhere uses Nginx, but I don't know if they give you any control of
it.
