You should provide the full absolute path of the file.

'python test file.csv' is the name of the file, but it doesn't say
where it is, and 'Desktop python test file.csv' is also just a name.
(Is the file called 'Desktop python test file.csv'? No. It's called
'python test file.csv' and it's in the 'Desktop' directory, wherever
that is.)
