Hi Mike,
maybe it's not a "true" text file? Opening it in Microsoft Notepad
gives an unformatted view of the file (text with no line wrapping,
just the end-of-line square box character followed by more text, end-
of-line character, etc). Wordpad opens it properly i.e. respects the
end-of-line wrapping. I'm unsure of how these files are being
generated, I was just given them and told they wanted to be able to
read them.
Sounds like a unix-line-ended textfile. Python has no problems reading
these, and frankly I'm a bit wondering why you have that IOError -but
then, on windows *anything* is possible.
You can try to open the file using the "rb" flag, which opens it in binary.
However, Python doesn't care about any extensions, that must be
something else you did different.

Copy and paste from the console or wherever you run the script?
