print(BASE_DIR)



# How to tell django ignore requests like /favicon.ico and etc.

settings.py

import re
IGNORABLE_404_URLS = (
    re.compile(r'^/favicon\.ico$'),
    re.compile(r'^/robots\.txt$'),
)


# How to serve static files in dev

settings.py

import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),  # <- only one static files directory
)
