That's because your path is not legal on Windows. You want to use
file = r'C:\Andy\XSL\test.xml'
The 'r', for "raw" lets you use single backslashes, otherwise they would
have to be doubled.
parse_resource is not finding the file because of the bad path, and so
you get an error (too bad the error is not more informative).
