title: Django - Serving MEDIA/uploaded files in production
body: <p>I currently have this in my project urls.py, the last line is what's important.</p>
  
  <pre><code>urlpatterns = patterns('',
      url(r'^', include('polls.urls', namespace="polls")),
      url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
  ) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've been told and I've read that this is not suitable for a production environment. Why is this the case?</p>
