Open a cmd.exe, command.exe or powershell, and:

Then run your script.
Or put an os.chdir(r'c:\my\dir\ect\ory') at the top of your script.
Or use file = open(r'c:\my\dir\ect\ory\Egils Saga 1-15.txt', 'r')
BTW, "file" means something to python other than just a variable name. You
can replace it, as your code below (and my example above) does, but it
obscures the thing you're replacing. That's why I like to use file_
instead of file.
Personally, I'd use a meaningful name. For instance, I might do
saga = open(r'c:\my\dir\ect\ory\Egils Saga 1-15.txt', 'r')
or even
with open(r'c:\my\dir\ect\ory\Egils Saga 1-15.txt', 'r') as saga:
The latter form eliminates the need for saga.close(). (I'm sure that you
know that; it's directed at the OP.)
