Opening file problem in wxWindows program

I am writing a program that uses wxWindows for the GUI in Windows NT
with Python 1.5.2. I am trying to open a file and read the contents
within this program and I'm having trouble. I have the statment:
usernameFile = open('usernames.dat', 'r')
However, I get an error message saying:
TypeError: illegal argument type for built-in operation
If I create a blank test script with this statement as the only line,
it works fine. If I enter the statement in the command line of the
interpreter, it works fine. What could be the problem with using it in
a script interspersed with wxWindows stuff?
I have imported these at the top of my script:
from wxPython.wx import *
from os import *
from string import *
Any ideas?
