I've never had any trouble accessing files in Win2k with python.
The following would all work for me:
f1 = file('c:\\My Docments\\memo.txt')
f2 = file('c:/My Documents/memo.txt')
f3 = file(os.path.normpath('c:/My Documents/memo.txt')) # os.path.normpath
normalizes a path; it also converts / to \\ on Windows platforms
Is your path correct? The "My Documents" folder doesn't normally live in the
root in Win2k; it is more likely to be found somewhere like C:\Documents and
Settings\Username\My Documents. Or, in an office environment, it might be on a
network share --- eg, H:\.
