The code below gives me FileNotFoundError. I'm running Python 3.5.1 in Jupyter Notebook (installed with Anaconda package). The file test.txt exists in the described folder with a simple text string in it. 

  myfile = open(r'C:\Users\324706\test.txt', 'r')

FileNotFoundError

    You have made a mistake somewhere. The file does not exist, otherwise you wouldn't get that error. – linusg Jun 08 '16 at 17:51
  • I right-clicked on the file and selected properties: it shows location as C:\Users\324706. – Murchak Jun 08 '16 at 17:57
  • You might want to try `import os` and `os.listdir("c:\\Users\\324706")` – Peter Brittain Jun 08 '16 at 17:57

It looks pretty self explanatory. You don't have the correct destination for the file you're trying to open. Double check where it is and try again.

    I guess that would be a possibility. But as is, the file is clearly in the folder shown: C:\Users\324706. I see it, and when I double-click on the file, it opens up with a simple text (the content of the file). – Murchak Jun 08 '16 at 17:59

Thank you Peter Brittain, and others. I did that and the file is shown as test.txt.txt.
