Hi Rich, That's quite easy, it's just basic object oriented programing with Python, nothing directly related to Twisted: import what you need, subclass the File and DirectoryLister, and override in those what is required to be changed. Starting rom the code you mention, that gives the piece of code below (check the ## ** Comment ** parts). Hope that helps you starting.

Folks,

I'm new to Twisted and it looks like a good way to add a web server to my existing project. I am successfully following the example at http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/web/howto/web-in-60/static-dispat... to display the directories with the default file listing code.

Now I want to modify that default behavior for directory listing to:

- filter out/exclude certain kinds of files (e.g., by the extension), and - add a few elements to the HTML page displayed.

I've read the code of static.py, and see that the the DirectoryLister class seems to govern this. I believe I need to make a subslass, but I'm not a strong Python programmer, so the minor variations I tried kept running amiss of the class hierarchy, etc.

Could someone give me an outline of the method declarations that are needed to get the behavior above? Many thanks.
