Greetings.
I'm developing a Python-based product that needs to serve up a variety of XML files out of the product's directory. That is, certain URLs handled by instances of a product-defined type need to return an XML file that's on disk along with the product's DTML views and the like. Let's say that the URL
http://localhost/foo/bar resolves to an object my product class defines. Then I'd like http://localhst/foo/bar/static/a to serve a file named 'a' in a directory named 'xml_files' in my product's directory. Similarly, http://localhst/foo/bar/static/b/c should serve a file named 'c' within a directory named 'b' within 'xml_files' in my product's directory. I'd rather not hard-code every single file in the Python module, since there will be many, and they'll be changing a lot during development. I've been messing around with DTMLFile and ClassicHTMLFile and the like, haven't been able to figure out how to get it to work for arbitrary paths. They also require all my file names end in '.dtml', which is quite a pain. Any suggestions?
