The current working directory could be anything when using mod_python.
Therefore you cannot use relative pathnames. Instead use something like:

  import os

  __here__ = os.path.dirname(__file__)
  filename = os.path.join(__here__,"template")

This finds the directory the .py file is contained in and then appends your
relative path to it to yield an absolute path.

In other contexts, you may want to use req.filename or req.hlist.directory
instead of __file__. It depends on what you want to use as the anchor point
for your relative paths.
