And i'am sure it will work great!

Here is the .htaccess directives responsible to pass the actual .html page's absolute path to counter.py (please do not get mad at me, i'am trying to code your solution into python code, which is easier to me)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?superhost\.gr$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^/?(.+\.html) /cgi-bin/counter.py?htmlpage=%{REQUEST_FILEN
+AME} [L,PT,QSA]

But my friend, why bother creating a custom function?

Wouldn't something like the following work as intended?

pin = int( htmlpage.encode("hex"), 16 ) % 10000

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
