How to serve another static root in Django for html pages?
The typical configuration serves two static roots:
http://www.example.org/static/
http://www.example.org/media/
This is STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL.
I would like to add a third one to host static files build with Sphinx:
http://www.example.org/docs/
I know I could configure this on the level of the web server. Is it also possible to configure this on the level of Django?
Here is my python package, that implements Sphinx with Django templates and renders it to static pages. A kind lightweight read-the-docs. Still in an early state, yet working.

How about building a url just like you do for the static files? The DOCS_ROOT setting should be a string in your settings.
from django.urls import re_path
from django.views.static import serve
from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns += [
re_path(r'^docs/(?P<path>.*)', serve, {'document_root': settings.DOCS_ROOT})
]
