How do I serve files from an arbitrary directory with Turbogears2?

I have a database with the local path, e.g. /home/myuser/tg2env/MyProject/myproject/files/somefile.jpg

tg.url seems to only be able to serve things from the public directory.

Is there a widget available, or do I need to write some sort of DownloadController?

Also roles makes much more sense to me then groups because I have a strong Drupal background. Now I have found some of the docs to do this such as these: http://www… >>> More
