Learning Python - File Reading

I wanted to learn Python and never had the time to invest. I have started learning Python something I should have done years ago. Anyway, as I am new to Python I found few tutorials along with the Python Documentation very useful.

While trying file handling I came across this error
IOError: (22, "invalid mode ('r') or filename", 'd:\x07.txt')

It took me bit of time to realize that I have given the path name with a wrong slash '\' instead of '/' !
Just thought to document this because when I Googled for the error it was not so easy to find what was wrong.
