python - Access files from web.py urls -

i'm using web.py small project , have files want user able access in /files directory on server. can't seem find how return file on request can't work how this.

exactly want is:

urls = ('/files/+', 'files')  class files:    def get(self)      #return file 

is there simple way return file request?

playing around came webpy method:

def get(self):     request = web.input( path=none )     getpath = request.path     if os.path.exists( getpath ):         getfile = file( getpath, 'rb' )         web.header('content-type','application/octet-stream')         web.header('content-transfer-encoding','base64')          return base64.standard_b64encode( getfile.read( ) )     else:         raise web.notfound( ) 

other respondants correct when advise consider security implications. in case include code administrative web service (should be!) available within our internal lan.
