This is addon domain's counter.py snippet tried to load an image mail.png a=
nd failed because it cant see past its document root

While from within the same counter.py file

# open html template file
    f =3D open( '/home/nikos/public_html/test.txt' )

opens OK the page file which is also past addons domain's document root

Can you help counter.py to load the image? Why does it fail to load it? Pyt=
hon can have access to ANY filesystempath , no matter from what folder coun=
ter.py script runs from. Correct?
