Question

i’m using pyton 2.7. I have written a script , when it is executed, it will call and run some other file with the name abc.py. but i’m getting error

IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('r') or filename: 'F:\x07bc.c'

it is working fine if i change the file name.
it shows error only if i use letters from a to f as the first letter of file name
Please help.
Thank you

Try this:

open(r'F:\abc.c')

i.e. add r before quotes.

UPDATE Sorry, I misinterpreted the code (although my solution is correct). @DavidHeffernan is right, the \a is read as the ASCII bell.
