You are using a relative path.

Use an absolute path from the site root.

Change this:

>     link = '<a href="pics/1998/9804/bcsi/98042118.jpg"><img
> src="pics/1998/9804/bcsi/98042118tn.jpg">Logging road</a>'

To this:

     link = '<a href="/pics/1998/9804/bcsi/98042118.jpg"><img 
src="/pics/1998/9804/bcsi/98042118tn.jpg">Logging road</a>'

This problem would occur using any language. It's not specific to 
mod_python. The browser will treat relative paths as relative from the 
currently displayed page.
