Python horks on WinXP path names

[Eric]

I'm running Python 2.7 on WinXP (ActiveState community version) and
when I try to do this:

if __name__ == '__main__':
root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.withdraw()
fileNames = tkFileDialog.askopenfilenames()
root.destroy()
print fileNames
# windows filename gets
for fileName in fileNames:
print fileName
file = open(fileName, 'r')
for line in file.readlines():
print line.strip()


I get this:

C:\Documents and Settings\eric\Desktop\PythonShop>python picker.py
{C:/Documents and Settings/eric/Desktop/PythonShop/cereal.py}
{
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "picker.py", line 31, in <module>
file = open(fileName, 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'{'

That is, fileName is in a form that open() doesn't recognize. On a
BSD box the code works fine. What's going on with the file name and
how do I fix it?


TIA,
eric
