Can Python be used to create (and/or open, read, and write) a text file
in Windows (if the path is known) ?

Yes.

To open file:

fp=open(r'C:\directory\filename.txt','r')

To open file to write to:

fp=open(r'C:\directory\filename.txt','w')

You probably need to go through the Python tutorial as
these items are covered.

Yes. You could do:

Python 2.4.2 (#2, Sep 30 2005, 21:19:01)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

fileobj=open('~\myfile.txt','w')
fileobj.write("test")
fileobj.close()
On Windows, for the path to your file, you could write
r'C:\myfile.txt' (if C:\ is a place you can write to.)

also, see the output from
help("open")
