If you have posted the python code it would be easier to guess what is 
going wrong.  What does this do?

import os
template = '~/CSH/HISTORY'
print os.path.isfile(template)

That should print either True or False.

You might also try replacing the tilde ('~') with the actual path of 
your home folder, something like this typically:

template = '/home/username/CSH/HISTORY'

P.S. Have you checked the case?  Linux and Unix are case sensitive.
