I ONLY use it for development with the Django server. I only set up to
serve static pages when DEBUG = True (as they show toward the bottom of
the page).
No need to change links on the production server (apache + mod_python)
because the URLs are a different location than what I have set up for
mod_python.
You set up mod_python using <Location></Location> if you are using
Apache. This tells apache that ONLY what matches the specified location
will use mod_python.
An example:
<Location "/my_django_site/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
PythonInterpreter my_arbitrary_unique_name_here
PythonPath "['/my/django/code'] + sys.path"
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE WebSite.settings
SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /tmp/.python-eggs
PythonDebug On
</Location>
With this setup, only those URLs that have /my_django_site/ will go to
Django (via mod_python). Any other URLs will get serviced by Apache as
normal.
It is quite discouraged to have Django serve static pages on a
production server since it's not meant for that, so it's slow and
inefficient.
