You need an URL (rather than a file name) when your file may not be reachable from your server via the file system. In this case, your file must be reachable via the URL. This usually means, via a secondary server which can access you file.

When you say "yes", whether you can ensure that your files are accessible via an appropriate server (e.g. HTTP). When you can, use "urllib" to access your files rather than direct "open", "read", "close". Dieter
