What is the issue ?

Came across this warning today:

lib/python3.11/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py:58: UserWarning: No directory at: /home/dmsimard/.ara/www/static/

I guess it is from one of the newer django releases. I've noticed the issue with django 3.2.19.

What should be happening ?

We go to some lengths to bypass the need for a static directory because files are served out of django with whitenoise instead (i.e, evansd/whitenoise#215).

In these circumstances, the warning is not relevant because there are no files meant to be found there.
