Changing the static directory path in webpy

I'd love to be able to change the webpy static directory without the need to set up and run nginx locally. Right now, it seems webpy will only create a static directory if /static/ exists. In my case, I want to use /foo/bar/ as my static directory, but couldn't find any info related to configuring this (other than running apache or nginx locally).

This is for local use only, not production. Any ideas? 开发者_如何学GoThanks

If you need to have different directory for the same path then you may subclass web.httpserver.StaticMiddleware or write your own middleware like this (it tricks StaticApp by modifying PATH_INFO):

import web
import os
import urllib
import posixpath

urls = ("/.*", "hello")
app = web.application(urls, globals())

class hello:
    def GET(self):
        return 'Hello, world!'


class StaticMiddleware:
    """WSGI middleware for serving static files."""
    def __init__(self, app, prefix='/static/', root_path='/foo/bar/'):
        self.app = app
        self.prefix = prefix
        self.root_path = root_path

    def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
        path = environ.get('PATH_INFO', '')
        path = self.normpath(path)

        if path.startswith(self.prefix):
            environ["PATH_INFO"] = os.path.join(self.root_path, web.lstrips(path, self.prefix))
            return web.httpserver.StaticApp(environ, start_response)
        else:
            return self.app(environ, start_response)

    def normpath(self, path):
        path2 = posixpath.normpath(urllib.unquote(path))
        if path.endswith("/"):
            path2 += "/"
        return path2


if __name__ == "__main__":
    wsgifunc = app.wsgifunc()
    wsgifunc = StaticMiddleware(wsgifunc)
    wsgifunc = web.httpserver.LogMiddleware(wsgifunc)
    server = web.httpserver.WSGIServer(("0.0.0.0", 8080), wsgifunc)
    print "http://%s:%d/" % ("0.0.0.0", 8080)
    try:
        server.start()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        server.stop()

Or you can create symlink named "static" and point it to another directory.
