Multiple Static Directories In Python Tornado

I have a directory structure setup like: root/ js/ css/ libs/ index.html From Tornado, I want to serve js, css, and libs as static directories, but I can only find out how

Solution 1:

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/10165739/1813988

You can set the static path for different assets by setting handlers like this (and remove the static_path setting in Application):

handlers = [
            (r'/favicon.ico', tornado.web.StaticFileHandler, {'path':  favicon_path}),
            (r'/static/(.*)', tornado.web.StaticFileHandler, {'path': static_path}),
            (r'/', WebHandler)
]

Solution 2:

No its not possible.

You could ofcourse create a new folder -- parent, and place js, css and libs inside of that folder, and then speciy that parent folder as the 'static_path'

nb. "In production, you probably want to serve static files from a more optimized static file server like nginx"

Solution 3:

As Schildmeijer quoted from the Tornado website, I recommend using Nginx to serve static files. Having this setup early on is very convenient and easy. This also allows you some other potential benefits in the future:

• Using Nginx for load balancing
• Using Nginx to handle SSL
