Since a database and flat files are two different things, I'm not sure what you mean about the overhead. At the moment, there's no brilliantly ideal solution to this problem. We'll fix it "soon", though. The ideal solution here means you make no changes whatsoever at the Django level and it will work in both locaitons. That is, Django will understand the web server root it is installed under. This is gradually creeping higher on my list, as I cross off existing items, so either I or somebody else will deal with it soon. One workaround for now is to define a variable somewhere that is either "/path/to/production/install/" for production or "" in development. Include this variable at the start of each of your root URL patterns. Since this involves adding something for each pattern if you do it by hand, you could write simple function to do it for you. You pass the function the same parameters you would normally put into a tuple in urlpatterns and it can return the data with the prefix appended.
