My bottle web application is not serving my main.css file despite the fact I am using the static_file method.
app.py
from bottle import *
from xml.dom import minidom
@route('/')
def index():
return template("index")
@route('/glossaryXML')
def glossary():
doc_def = minidom.parse("table_definitions.xml")
terms = doc_def.getElementsByTagName("str_term")
defins = doc_def.getElementsByTagName("str_definition")
return template("list", terms=terms, defins=defins)
@route('<filename>.css')
def stylesheets(filename):
return static_file(filename, root='static')
@error(404)
def fourofour(error):
return "Error"
run(host='localhost', port=8080, debug=True)
The page I am trying to access is the index page, in which index.tpl looks like
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>ICT Applications Glossary</title>
<link type="text/css" href="main.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
It works
</body>
</html>
My CSS file is located in a folder named "static" which is in my root folder

Instead specify your static route like this
@route('/<filename:path>')
def send_static(filename):
return static_file(filename, root='static/')
This will serve any file in your static directory though not just css.
To make it stylesheet specific
@get('/<filename:re:.*\.css>')
def stylesheets(filename):
return static_file(filename, root='static/')
Note: for the latter option you could put stylesheets in their own directory 'static/css' or just 'css' and keep them separate from other static resources (scripts, images etc.) to do this just specify the root parameter to be that directory e.g. `root='static/css'.

There are 2 problems that I can see:
The route for the CSS files should begin with a slash, ie.
@route('/<filename>.css')
Only the matching part of the pattern is passed to stylesheets() in
the filename argument, e.g. instead of main.css, it will be
main. Change the code to this:
@route('/<filename>.css')
def stylesheets(filename):
return static_file('{}.css'.format(filename), root='static')
