Just change ``Location`` to the root URL of your media files. You can also use
``<LocationMatch>`` to match a regular expression.
This example sets up Django at the site root but explicitly disables Django for
the ``media`` subdirectory and any URL that ends with ``.jpg``, ``.gif`` or

<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython

Note that the Django development server automagically serves admin media files,
but this is not the case when you use any other server arrangement.
