Have a look at http://github.com/peritus/django_hashedmedia/
That's the far superior solution.
#
Also this is a dup of http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/946/, which includes additional information on usage and possible issues
#
i knew it had to be a dupe, i just couldn't find it for some odd reason... why is the django_hashedmedia superior?
#
django_hashedmedia is good if you are distributing your media off more than one host (because then modification times may differ), otherwise, i think it's a bit much for a something that can be solved using a simple templatetag, also you have to call the management command each time you make changes.
