On the Mac, you don’t need to specify a drive there; the main drive is just /.
Also, the path separator is a forward slash (/). This also lets you remove the
r in front of the string, which is needed for backslashes unless you escape
them. The corrected code is:
infile = open('/Users/richarddillon/Desktop/my_file', 'r')

Isn't he still mixing a string and a string variable is his open statement?
My_file is a string variable. I'm still learning Python myself so I could
very well be incorrect.. :)
