Could you please elaborate on that a little bit? Virtualenvs are
normally used to install Python packages, which jquery is not. Jquery
really *is* a static asset, it's just a file that the browser
downloads from your server as it is, without any server-side
processing. That's the definition of a static asset.
How do you install jquery? Are you using some kind of python-package
wrapper that contains the jquery static file? What package exactly is
it?
Chances are that if you use some kind of django-jquery package, all
you need to do is add that package to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``, and as
long as your ``STATICFILES_FINDERS`` setting includes
``django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder``, it might
“just work” (as in, you'd reference it using
``{% static "js/jquery.js" %}`` or something).
However, that's just a guess, because it's not very clear to me from
your description what kind of setup you have there. Anyway, as far as
Django is concerned, it really does not care where the static file is
coming from, as long as you configure your static file finders to see
the file.
Cheers,
Michal
