I'm in a similar boat...trying (again) with Django-1.3

My project is at ~/home/gour/www/zinnia in virtual env.
Zinnia (blog engine) media files are symlinked to:
/usr/home/gour/www/zinnia/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zinnia/media/zinnia -->
/usr/home/gour/www/zinnia/blog/static
and in order to see media files I've the following in my settings.py:
[...]
PROJECT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, "static")
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/'
[...]
and here is the snippet from urls.py:
from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
}),
)
The above snippet is from dev-docs, while the 1.3 doc says:
from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.staticfiles.views',
url(r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'serve'),
)
Now I'm told on #django that this is obsolete and from 1.3 one is supposed to
use:
django.contrib.staticfiles
and I tried to add it to INSTALLED_APPS, defined STATIC_ROOT, STATIC_URL,
STATICFILES_DIRS..and adding:
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns() to urls.py, but all what I get is 404
errors.
> The docs don't seem to mention using this view for this purpose.

This is my confusion as well. The doc says:
This view is automatically enabled by runserver (with a DEBUG setting set to
True). To use the view with a different local development server, add the
following snippet to the end of your primary URL configuration:
from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.staticfiles.views',
url(r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'serve'),
)
and based on the avove it seems that if one just wants to use runserver there
should not be need for the django.contrib.staticfiles.views view, but, based on
my experience I was not able to render media files without using the above
snippet in urls.py, so my humgble request is whether someone can provide
correct info how to serve app's media (static) files in django-1.3 when using
runserver in development?
Sincerely,
Gour

Ahh...my mistake for not explaining better. Here is the demo: http://demo.smartwebprojects.net/downloads-list/ which shows Downloads list which is probably straightforward, but I wonder how to register number of downloads for each file? I understand that in Python's jargon, number of downloads is class variable, but no idea how to handle it in Django? Is it more clear now?

download-list app
Hello! I'm starting with Django trying to migrate all my sites from PHP apps to Django apps... I'd like to have Download page to display list of available (mp3) files for download: Filename | Size | Number of downloads | Last updated Is there some django apps providing similar functionality and/or what would be the starting points to implement it?
