[Ernesto]

Can Python be used to create (and/or open, read, and write) a text file
in Windows (if the path is known) ?

Yes.

To open file:

fp=open(r'C:\di rectory\filenam e.txt','r')

To open file to write to:

fp=open(r'C:\di rectory\filenam e.txt','w')

You probably need to go through the Python tutorial as
these items are covered.

Re: Windows - create text file - (newb)

Yes. You could do:

Python 2.4.2 (#2, Sep 30 2005, 21:19:01)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> fileobj=open('~ \myfile.txt','w ')
>>> fileobj.write(" test")
>>> fileobj.close()[/color][/color][/color]

On Windows, for the path to your file, you could write
r'C:\myfile.txt ' (if C:\ is a place you can write to.)

also, see the output from
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> help("open")[/color][/color][/color]
