Only use "r+" if you need to also write to the file. "r" is still
good for opening for reading.
Without seeing a traceback, I can only assume the error is caused by
using a backslash in the path without escaping it. Try either the
following:
file_open=open("D:\\file","r+")
file_open=open(r"D:\file","r+")
