More specifically you show us f = open(r'C:\Test.txt', 'r')
but the traceback shows the statement to be f = open('Test.txt', 'r')
Something is being lost between these 2 items.
When I try f = open( r'C:\Test.txt','r')
The traceback reports IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'c:\\test.txt'
Note the \\
Your traceback reports IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'c:\test.txt' confirming the Paul's diagnosis.
