Serving Static Files

Pecan comes with simple file serving middleware for serving CSS, Javascript, images, and other static files. You can configure it by ensuring that the following options are specified in your configuration file:

app = {
    ...
    'debug': True,
    'static_root': '%(confdir)/public
}

...where static_root is an absolute pathname to the directory in which your static files live. For convenience, the path may include the %(confdir) variable, which Pecan will substitute with the absolute path of your configuration file at runtime.

Note

In production, app.debug should never be set to True, so you'll need to serve your static files via your production web server.
