with open('C:\Documents and Settings\[trimmed]\Desktop\list.txt', 
            'rb') as infile:
	fread = infile.readlines()
        fread = [x.strip() for x in fread]
        fread = [x.lstrip('\x95') for x in fread]
        fread = [x.strip() for x in fread]
        fread = [x for x in fread if x != '']
        fread = [x.replace(x,'[[' + x + ']]') for x in fread]
        fread = (',').join(fread)
        print fread
        
raw_input("Press any key to continue")

Error that I get is:

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-4: end of string in escape sequence
