How to import file in python?

Posted at: 2014-12-18 
I wanna write a word game program in python but I don't know how to import a text file into my program. Suppose I create a txt file called 'words', then I write:

file = open('words.txt', 'r')

print file.readline()

But I get the error message 'IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'hello.txt' '

I saved both files in the same folder. What have I done wrong?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
