Python images display Django

Since my last question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3166221/python-images-display

I understood that from all the answers I got the glob.glob could be the only one in the direction I need.

However where I am stuck right now is here:

I can create a list with all the filenames in my media directory by using glob.glob:

all = glob.glob("/Path_to_MEDIA/*/*.jpg")

But how can I use that and create a VERY SIMPLE image display with one next button that calls files in my MEDIA_ROOT and displays them.

What I know is:

I have a Template which looks something like the default directory index:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
    <meta name="robots" content="NONE,NOARCHIVE" />
    <title>Index of {{ directory }}</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Index of {{ directory }}</h1>
    <ul>
      {% ifnotequal directory "/" %}
      <li><a href="../">../</a></li>
      {% endifnotequal %}
      {% for f in file_list %}
      <li><a href="{{ f|urlencode }}">{{ f }}</a></li>
      {% endfor %}
    </ul>
  </body>
</html>

I need to create a def in my views that feeds the list from glob.glob to this or similar template.

What I dont know:

How does this def in the view have to look like?

And here:

What do I have to write to display one image, sound in a browser?
What do I have to write to display a LIST of images, sounds?

Thanks for the time!

from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template ... url(r'^whatever', direct_to_template, { 'template':'foo.html', 'extra_context': {'files':myfiles} } name='whatever' ),

Thanks! Interesting. And where is myfiles specified? In a Model.py, views.py , def in a View, model?

the top block is in urls.py, so myfiles can be filled from there as well. i do this for a blog, where the "top stories" are calculated there, since they're shared between multiple views. however, you can put it else where and call it there. or, if you like, you can write your own view instead of doing the generic view thing, and just make sure to add the files key/value to your context.
