I'm going to guess.  I'll bet you used "from os import *" somewhere
above that.  os has a function "open" that closely interfaces the
operating system's open call--and the second argument has to be an
integer.

BTW, you don't know this, but since you're using 2.3, you should
probably start using "file" instead of open:

    input = file("example.py","r")
