Reading a one line file within index.html.tmpl

[WindnFog]

I have a one-line text file containing 4 characters.  It changes from time to time and I want to read it from Cheetah/Python 3.  The code below doesn't work, and I am wondering if I am going down the rabbit hole trying to get these 4 characters into my eventual index .html for upload:

        #with open('/path_to/length.txt','r') as file:
        #set $length = file.read()

        #$length

If there isn't a quick fix, I can try another approach.  I *seems* like it should be simple, but doesn't everything?  Am I missing the obvious?

Are you going to do something with those characters or just display them?

You could just include the file as HTML if its simple text to display. No cheetah needed.

Just want to display them!  I knew I was going down the rabbit hole.  The include solution works for me.  Thanks!
