>>> f=open(r'c:\Test.txt','r')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:\\Test.txt'


Its pretty determined that Test.txt doesn't exist.
What happens if you do:

import os
os.listdir('C:\\')

In other words does Python see the file at all?
And have you checked that you have access to the file in Windows Explorer?
