> Can you help counter.py to load the image? Why does it fail to load it? Python can have access to ANY filesystempath , no matter from what folder counter.py script runs from. Correct?

That piece of code is not opening the image file. It just issues the URL
for the image file. The file will then be loaded by the browser in a new
request. The image should be at
/home/nikos/public_html/data/images/mail.png

P.S. I don't understand what you mean by "addon domain".
