Gabriel is right.  But if you care to get our diagnosis, you need to 
state your working conditions more clearly.  Or perhaps do a bit of 
debugging on it.  For a start, you might do a    print os.curdir   right 
before the open() function to see what the current directory is.

Or you could remove the several ambiguities in your paragraph above that 
starts "I'm not sure..."  Maybe show a transcript of your CMD session.  
And if the python.* that's on your PATH is a batch file, show us the 
contents of that as well.

And if you're running from CMD, or from an interpreter, or from IDLE, or 
from an IDE, or from Explorer, each one may have its own idea of what to 
give you for current directory.

If you're running the script from a CMD prompt, by just entering the 
script name and letting Windows find the executable (which is not the 
script), then you're correct, CWD should be the same as it was in the 
CMD shell.
