let me guess: gui.py contains the line "from os import *" ?

this means that "open" refers to os.open, which is not the same thing as the
built-in open function.

the solution?  use "import os", and add "os." in front of all functions from
that module.  never use from-import in application code, unless you have
very good reasons:
