Description: ==================
        django-staticfiles
        ==================
        
        This is a Django app that provides helpers for serving static files.
        
        Django developers mostly concern themselves with the dynamic parts of web
        applications -- the views and templates that render new for each request. But
        web applications have other parts: the static media files (images, CSS,
        Javascript, etc.) that are needed to render a complete web page.
        
        For small projects, this isn't a big deal, because you can just keep the media
        somewhere your web server can find it. However, in bigger projects -- especially
        those comprised of multiple apps -- dealing with the multiple sets of static
        files provided by each application starts to get tricky.
        
        That's what ``staticfiles`` is for: it collects static files from each of your
        applications (and any other places you specify) into a single location
        that can easily be served in production.
        
        The main website for django-staticfiles is
        `github.com/jezdez/django-staticfiles`_ where you can also file tickets.
        
        .. warning:: django-staticfiles was added to Django 1.3 as a contrib app.
        
        The django-staticfiles 0.3.X series will only receive security and data los
        bug fixes after the release of django-staticfiles 1.0. Any Django 1.2.X
        project using django-staticfiles 0.3.X and lower should be upgraded to use
        either Django 1.3's staticfiles app or django-staticfiles >= 1.0 to profit
        from the new features and stability.
        
        You may want to chose to use django-staticfiles instead of Django's own
        staticfiles app since any new feature (additionally to those backported
        from Django) will be released first in django-staticfiles.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        - Use your favorite Python packaging tool to install ``staticfiles``
        from `PyPI`_, e.g.::
        
        pip install django-staticfiles
        
        You can also install the `in-development version`_ of django-staticfiles
        with ``pip install django-staticfiles==dev``.
        
        - Added ``"staticfiles"`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting::
        
        INSTALLED_APPS = [
        # ...
        "staticfiles",
        ]
        
        - Set your ``STATIC_URL`` setting to the URL that handles serving
        static files::
        
        STATIC_URL = "/static/"
        
        - In development mode (when ``DEBUG = True``) the ``runserver`` command will
        automatically serve static files::
        
        python manage.py runserver
        
        - Once you are ready to deploy all static files of your site in a central
        directory (``STATIC_ROOT``) to be served by a real webserver (e.g. Apache_,
        Cherokee_, Lighttpd_, Nginx_ etc.), use the ``collectstatic`` management
        command::
        
        python manage.py collectstatic
        
        See the webserver's documentation for descriptions how to setup serving
        the deployment directory (``STATIC_ROOT``).
        
        - (optional) In case you use Django's admin app, make sure the
        ``ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX`` setting is set correctly to a subpath of
        ``STATIC_URL``::
        
        ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = STATIC_URL + "admin/"
