Yes it already exists {{MEDIA_URL}}
Thats what the settings.py file does...
There is a bunch of stuff you can read about in the docs:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/static-files/
Also for some of my own deployments there are a bunch of static file
servers so i just put these into settings:
{{MEDIA_URL_VIDEO}}
{{MEDIA_URL_IMAGES}}
etc...
Basically its as extensible as you want to make it.
cheers
