I am taking python at my college and I am stuck with my current assignment. We are supposed to take 2 files and compare them. I am simply trying to open the files so I can use them but I keep getting the error "ValueError: embedded null character"
file1 = input("Enter the name of the first file: ")
file1_open = open(file1)
file1_content = file1_open.read()
What does this error mean?

null is often defined to be 0 in those languages, but null in Python is different. Python uses the keyword None to define null objects and variables. While None does serve some of the same purposes as null in other languages, it's another beast entirely.
It seems that you have problems with characters "\" and "/". If you use them in input - try to change one to another...
