I don't think I'm missing anything. Then again I'm kind of a newbie.

def GET(self, filename):
    name = urllib.unquote(filename)
    full = path.abspath(path.join(STATIC_PATH, filename))
    #Make sure request is not tricksy and tries to get out of
    #the directory, e.g. filename = "../.ssh/id_rsa". GET OUTTA HERE
    assert full[:len(STATIC_PATH)] == STATIC_PATH, "bad path"
    return open(full).read()
