CSS belongs under static. Packages and common routines belong under modules and are "import"ed. You could have a common static and modules and symbolically link. I have never done that, but it makes sense.
I suppose you could also put the CSS just about anywhere on the file system. And modules could be put under the python package library and imported from there. I haven't tried that, but seems like it would work.
