Or how to serve your media folder within the development web server?

pretty easy, if you know how

add this to your main url.py:

from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
  urlpatterns += patterns('',
    (r'^media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
      {'document_root' : settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
      'show_indexes'  : True}),
  )

be sure to specify MEDIA_ROOT in your settings.py.
