Hum, I'm not sure it it is guaranteed in the long term, but it will definitively work for now.

It would be better if I could simply get the static_url prefix from within the python backend.

Devil advocate, but js is stored in the document. Can you be certain that your code will always be executed with a non-changing static url ? Also using 'static_url' is already reimplementing part of requireJS...
