serving static file not from /static in webpy

Question

Is there a way of serving static files (images) not from the /static folder in webpy? What I would like to do is show images that are scattered in various directories, and moving all of them to /static is really not an option. If it is not feasible in webpy, are there any other python web frameworks that would do this?

Thanks,

You can easily do it when deploying your web.app under different webserver. But if you want to set static path in web.py development server then you'll have to patch webpy's static middleware or write your own.
