I am just starting to learn some Python, and I have an issue as stated below:

a_file = open('E:\Python Win7-64-AMD 3.3\Test', encoding='utf-8')

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
    a_file = open('E:\Python Win7-64-AMD 3.3\Test', encoding='utf-8')
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'E:\\Python Win7-64-AMD 3.3\\Test\

It seems to be a file permission error. How can I fix this problem?

Note: I am not sure how Python and Windows files work but I'm logged in to Windows as Admin and the folder has admin permissions.

I have tried changing the .exe properties to run as an administrator.
