Oh my God, was that simple and i was smashing my head to see where did i made a synatx error. Missed the colon! Well the error shoudl ahve said "Hey man, you missed a colon!", that would help a lot.

Now the error afetr fixithg that transformed to:

[Thu Jun 06 22:13:49 2013] [error] [client 79.103.41.173]     filename = fullpath.replace( '/home/nikos/public_html/data/apps/', '' )
[Thu Jun 06 22:13:49 2013] [error] [client 79.103.41.173] TypeError: expected bytes, bytearray or buffer compatible object


but htats becaus eof these lines:

# Give the path as a bytestring so that we'll get the filenames as bytestrings
path = os.listdir( b'/home/nikos/public_html/data/apps/' )

# iterate over all filenames in the apps directory
for fullpath in path:
	# Grabbing just the filename from path
	filename = fullpath.replace( '/home/nikos/public_html/data/apps/', '' )

i can remove the bianry openign from os.listdir but then this will not work.
MRAB has told me that i need to open those paths and filenames as bytestreams and not as unicode strings.
