As you can see, I did root.putChild towards the end of things, expecting that when I got to http://site/rcs I get given a directory listing of the contents of ./images but of course that doesn't happen. What am I missing? I've tried many things suggested from here. Also this one doesn't work because that's just serving static files anyways. It goes to getChild all the time regardless of whether if have specified putChild or not.
On Python 3, a bare string literal like "rcs" is a unicode string (which Python 3 calls "str" but which I will call "unicode" to avoid ambiguity).
However, twisted.web.resource.Resource.putChild requires a byte string as its first argument. It misbehaves rather poorly when given unicode, instead. Make your path segments into byte strings (eg b"rcs") and the server will behave better on Python 3.
