At a guess it's a setup problem.  I get (on Warp 3.0):

Python 1.5.2 (#0, Jun 27 1999, 11:23:01) [VisualAge C/C++] on os2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> f=open("spam", "r")
Traceback (innnermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
IOError: [Errno 10] The file cannot be found.: 'spam'
>>>

which seems a bit more useful.  But the only environment variables
I have declared are the standard PYTHONHOME and PYTHONSTARTUP, so
there's nothing unusual about my setup.
