Serving media from Django only in development

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using the next code to let serving media from Django only in development.
In addition it uses the variables -MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT- directly from
the settings file.

demo/urls.py
-----------------
# Serves media content. WARNING!! Only for development uses.
# On production use lighthttpd for media content.
if settings.DEBUG:

    # Delete the first trailing slash, if any.
    if settings.MEDIA_URL.startswith('/'):
        media_url = settings.MEDIA_URL[1:]
    else:
        media_url = settings.MEDIA_URL

    # Add the last trailing slash, if have not.
    if not media_url.endswith('/'):
        media_url = media_url + '/'

    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        (r'^' + media_url + '(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
            {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}
        ),
    )
