[Tutor] Opening a file in Windows Enviroment

[Tracy Bost]

I'm having a hard time opening a file in windows using the "open" function.
It seems it doesn't like the ":" in the path name.
for example
 filename = 'C:\test.txt'
open(filename,'r+')
 gives me an ugly error everytime :

IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'C:\text.txt'


 Please help.
 Thank you
