Didn't you say that you're using Python 2.7 now? The default file
encoding will be ASCII, but your file isn't ASCII, it contains Greek
letters. Add the encoding line:

     # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

and check that the file is saved as UTF-8.

The path 'test' is relative to the current working directory. Is that
D:\ for your script? If not, then it won't find the (correct) folder.

It might be better to use an absolute path instead. You could use
either:

     r'd:\test'

(note that I've made it a raw string because it contains a backslash
which I want treated as a literal backslash) or:

     'd:/test'

(Windows should accept a slash as well as of a backslash.)
