title: how to pass an xml file to lxml to parse?
body: <p>I'm trying to parse an xml file using lxml. xml.etree allowed me to simply pass the file name as a parameter to the <code>parse</code> function, so I attempted to do the same with lxml.</p>
  
  <p>My code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from lxml import etree
  from lxml import objectify
  
  file = "C:\Projects\python\cb.xml"
  tree = etree.parse(file)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I get the error:</p>
