String comparison

[Delaney, Timothy]

postReply = urllib.urlopen("http://css.kwe.com/web.forte", postdata).read()
 print postReply
 
 f = open("D:\PythonServerMonitor\KWE1144589.dat","r")
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I suspect the problem is here. You probably aren't managing to open the
file, as the string contains unescaped backslashes.

Look at section 2.4.1 String Literals in the python documentation.
