Cling

✓ from dj_static import Cling

✗ from dj_static import Cling

Wrap your Django WSGI application with Cling to serve static files in production. Run with a WSGI server like gunicorn.

import os from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application from dj_static import Cling os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myproject.settings') application = Cling(get_wsgi_application())

Debug

Known issues

gotchaImport as 'dj_static' (underscore), not 'dj-static' (hyphen). The package name on PyPI uses a hyphen, but Python module naming conventions use an underscore.

fix

Use 'from dj_static import Cling'.

affects: all

deprecatedThe library is no longer maintained. It relies on the 'static3' package, which itself is unmaintained. Consider switching to WhiteNoise or Django's built-in static file handling with a CDN.

fix

Replace with whitenoise: install 'pip install whitenoise' and follow its documentation.

affects: 0.0.6

breakingOnly works with WSGI servers (e.g., gunicorn, uWSGI). It does not support ASGI.

fix

If using ASGI (Django Channels, Daphne, Uvicorn), use WhiteNoise with ASGI support.
