It is trying to open a file named 'my_file' on your desktop, which does not
exist.  In this case, you want:

infile = open('/Users/richarddillon/Desktop/' + my_file, 'r')

This concatenates (puts together) the string with the path to your desktop
and the variable my_file.

Also, .rtf files are not going to work well with Python, you need a plain
text file (.txt).
