Notice the error has a spurious ' within it - between /us and .txt.
That quote is not in your code which suggests that there must be some
code you are not showing us?

Eliminate that quote and it should work - assuming you have access
to the directory and that it exists.

Also note that you don't need a close() when you use the with
structure to open the file. close() is done automatically
by Python.
