From what I understand the dev server is base on BaseHTTPServer, so
it should be easy to write that for some of the resquests asking for
/static (or anything the developper passes as a parameter) be handled
directly thru it and be served by BaseHTTPServer on the
filesystem(another config var?).
The problem I think lies with mimetypes, but that can be set either
by a config file (maybe too complex) or hardcoded into the dev server
(we need only images, css, javascript and maybe swf, movie files)
We could also look at how the other frameworks that have a dev server
do it.
