hrmmm....does it matter where the files live, or what URL was used to access them? you can use routes.py to map any URL to any file you like....
you may also use your webserver to map URLs to directories. i don't know if rocket has that feature, but if you are using apache/cherokee/nginx you should be able to do that. does that help?
