Django Admin CSS doesn't show up when using python-socketio

[MK272008]

Describe the bug
Although I have integrated python-socketio successfully with Django (using gevent), the Django Admin's CSS doesn't load whenever I open it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Integrate python-socketio with Django using eventlet or gevent
2. Open the django admin

Expected behavior
Django admin should have remained the same as it was before integrating socketio

This is likely a bug in your own application that is setting up the WSGI middleware chain incorrectly. Can you share the code that combines the Socket.IO and Django applications?

[MK272008]

Yes, this is the code:

import os
import socketio
import eventlet

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from messaging.views import sio

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "server.settings")

django_app = get_wsgi_application()
application = socketio.WSGIApp(sio, django_app)

eventlet.wsgi.server(eventlet.listen(('', 8000)), application)

@MK272008 Have you configured your static files root appropriately? The code looks correct, my only guess is that you haven't created a static files directory and collected your files on it.

[MK272008]

I had already tried that, but it also doesn't work.
Btw i fixed the issue. I made some changes to it and it worked.

import os
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
import socketio
import eventlet
import eventlet.wsgi
from django.contrib.staticfiles.handlers import StaticFilesHandler
from messaging.views import sio

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "server.settings")
django_app = StaticFilesHandler(get_wsgi_application())
application = socketio.Middleware(sio, wsgi_app=django_app, socketio_path='socket.io')

eventlet.wsgi.server(eventlet.listen(('', 8000)), application)

[miguelgrinberg]

My understanding is that the StaticFilesHandler is used by the development server, to avoid having to collect the static files in the static root directory. This actually confirms what I was saying, your static file configuration is incorrect.
