[mod_python] Mod-Python Help

Hi,

You have to provide absolute paths when accessing local file. This is
because the cwd is always /.

I you want to built paths relative to the script you are writing, you can
use the __FILE__ meta variable :

LOCAL_FILE = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__FILE__),'myfile.txt')

Regards,
Nicolas
