from twisted.web import resource, static

root = resource.Resource()
root.putChild('fooimages', static.File('/path/to/foo/images'))
root.putChild('barimages', static.File('/path/to/bar/images'))

.rpys are bad.  They were a bad idea implemented badly and their use is
strongly discouraged, even for development they are bad and should never
contain more than

from my.fancy.web.code import MyResource
resource = MyResource()

if you're using .rpys i assume you're using mktap to build the webserver
configuration, .taps are also discouraged, and the best way to deploy
twisted.web applications is with .tac files.  see

http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/application.html

for details.

Enjoy,
