Changing Path in Python

[bradm279]

I'm trying to read a txt file into python but it is not opening the file. When I looked at the path browser I realized it wasn't reading where my file was but there were no options on how to change it. If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

import sys
sys.path.append("/new/path") 
file("filename", "r")

OR

import os
os.chdir("/new/path")
file("filename", "r")

OR

file("/new/path/filename", "r")
