Sorry for the errorneous quote-only response, gmail managed to send it
without me typing a thing.

On the Mac, you don’t need to specify a drive there; the main drive is just /.

Also, the path separator is a forward slash (/).  This also lets you
remove the r in front of the string, which is needed for backslashes
unless you escape them.  The corrected code is:

infile = open('/Users/richarddillon/Desktop/my_file', 'r')
