Python 3.2.2 open('C:\file.txt') doesn't work

Question

Admittedly, I am a novice; however, (I think) I did what the tutorial said (for the version I installed) and I can\'t get Python to read a file. Others have had problem

Answer 1

\ is an escape character. Try open(r"C:\try\in0.txt") or open("C:\\try\\in0.txt").
