Since you insist:

>>> def 
>>> function_that_returns_a_number_out_of_a_string(absolute_path_of_a_html_file):
...     return int(absolute_path_of_a_html_file.encode("hex"), 16)
... 
>>> function_that_returns_a_number_out_of_a_string("/foo/bar/baz")
14669632128886499728813089146L

As a bonus here is how to turn the number back into a path:

>>> x = 14669632128886499728813089146
>>> "{:x}".format(x).decode("hex")
'/foo/bar/baz'
