Brandon-
I believe that the reason it's not serving the file is because your
url pattern does not give a name to the string that you're capturing
(the .* in your pattern). Django expects this to be given the name
"path," and in Python regular expressions, you do that with the
syntax:
(?P<path>.*)
Try changing that section of your urls.py to:
urlpatterns += patterns('django.views',
(r'^public/(?P<path>.*)$', 'static.serve', {'document_root': '/Users/
bt/django_projects/btaylor_design/public'}),
Here's the documentation:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/static_files/
Keep in mind that Python (Django) will be serving these files, and as
the documentation says, this is inefficient. When you make this site
live, you'll want the files to be served directly by your Web server.
There's an example configuration for Apache on the above page.
Hope this helps. Don't give up!
