Getting this

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'rawunicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \uXXXX

Ouch! That's Python 2 treating \U as the start of a Unicode escape, even though it's in a raw string. That doesn't happen in Python 3 (which is what I use nowadays).

Fortunately, Windows will accept / instead of \ in paths, which also means that you don't have to make it a raw string:

file = u"C:/Users/Furqan/Desktop/查找問題Reference/1.wav"

                  Thanks for the replay i appreciate your help but the
        problem i
        have is not with the FileNotFoundError exception handling
        because the
        file exists but the problem is that the library libsndfile/Sndfile
        (python third party) which is child class/module of
        scikits.audiolab
        (python third party) is not reading file with special
        character in its
        path and name , i need some help to in how to make library
        libsndfile/Sndfile to read file with special character in it  i.e
        C:\Users\Furqan\Desktop\test\查找問題daw\查找問題d.wav, as i
        mentioned
        in my first email

    I recommend that you use Unicode strings instead of bytestrings:

    track1 = ur'C:\Users\Furqan\Desktop\test\查找問題daw\查找問題d.wav'
