The documentation for the function for serving static files,
`django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve()`, describes it as "grossly
inefficient and probably insecure. This is only intended for local
development, and should never be used in production." To ease the
deployment of small sites, it would be nice to fix or replace it with
something that could be used in production. [http://whitenoise.evans.io/
WhiteNoise] is an example of static file serving done in Python and is a
possible candidate for integration in Django.
Ideas are discussed in more detail on the
