Multiple Static Directories in Python Tornado

Question

I have a directory structure setup like:

root/
  js/
  css/
  libs/
  index.html

From Tornado, I want to serve js, css, and libs as static directories, but I can only find out how to serve one of them. Can this be done?

You can set the static path for different assets by setting handlers like this (and remove the static_path setting in Application):

handlers = [
            (r'/favicon.ico', tornado.web.StaticFileHandler, {'path':  favicon_path}),
            (r'/static/(.*)', tornado.web.StaticFileHandler, {'path': static_path}),
            (r'/', WebHandler)
]
