Best practice for setting up wsgi in the root directory?

what are the best ways to mix static files and wsgi application in the root directory?

http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickConfigurationGuide

recommends setting up

WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/www/wsgi-scripts/myapp.wsgi

      

        
        
        
      

    

and an alias for other directories and files:

Alias /robots.txt /usr/local/www/documents/robots.txt
Alias /favicon.ico /usr/local/www/documents/favicon.ico

Alias /media/ /usr/local/www/documents/media/

      

        
        
        
      

    

is there a cleaner way to do this?
