I'm testing an application template that serves static files from "/"
and has a SQLAlchemy configuration (coming soon). This is working for
me:
from pyramid.view import static
# Set up routes and views
config.add_handler('home', '/', '{{package}}.handlers:MainHandler',
action='index')
config.add_handler('main', '/{action}', '{{package}}.handlers:MainHandler',
path_info=r'/(?!favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|w3c)')
config.add_route('static', '/*subpath', static('{{package}}:static'))
The first line is a regular home route for "/".
The second line handles "/{action}", but it has to exclude top-level
static files which would be mistaken for actions. (The path_info regex
doesn't match /favicon.ico, /robots.txt, or /w3c.)
The third line is a catchall route for all other URLs, which goes to
the static directory. The static() function creates a static view. But
Chris has said this will disable traversal, so I need to make a route
predicate function so that the route matches only if the file exists.
But if you don't need traversal, you can use this as-is.
