You need a few more \'s:
d:\>python
Python 2.3.2 (#49, Oct 2 2003, 20:02:00) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> f = open( '\\centipede\space\gandalf.zip', 'r' )
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'\\centipede\\space\\gandalf.zip'
>>> f = open( '\\\\centipede\\space\\gandalf.zip', 'r' )
