Python noob menu

Hey guys, literally just starting off on python, just making a simple menu based system to read/write files and delete a file to get used to calling functions and working with the file system etc.
For some reason the code won't write to the file I have on my system, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

All help or constructive criticism about how I'm going about this would be much appreciated.

Code:

import os

def writer_func():

    file_targ=raw_input("Enter file path and name: ")
    texty=raw_input("Enter text: ")
    file_targ=str('file_targ')
    fob=open('file_targ','w')
    fob.write('texty')
    fob.close()
    print '%s' % texty

print "        Main Menu"
print "1) Write a file"
print "2) Read a file"
print "3) Delete a file"

main_menu=raw_input('Enter options [1-3] : ')

main_menu=int(main_menu)

if main_menu == 1:
    print ("You chose to write a file")
    writer_func()
    
elif main_menu == 2:
    print ("You chose to read a file")
    reader_func()
    
elif main_menu == 3:
    print ("You chose to delete a file")
    deleter
    
else:
    print ("Invalid choice")
    exit

XmRemoveFromPostFromList(library call)									    XmRemoveFromPostFromList(library call)

NAME

       XmRemoveFromPostFromList -- a RowColumn function that disables a menu for a particular widget

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>

       void XmRemoveFromPostFromList(
       Widget menu,
       Widget post_from_widget);

DESCRIPTION

       XmRemoveFromPostFromList makes a Popup or Pulldown menu no longer accessible from a widget. This function does not destroy a menu, or deal-
       locate the memory associated with it. It simply removes the widget from the menu's list of widgets permitted to post that menu.

       If the menu argument refers to a Popup menu, the event handlers are removed from the post_from_widget widget. If the argument refers  to  a
       Pulldown  menu,	its  ID  is  removed  from  the  XmNsubMenuId of the specified post_from_widget. Also, if the menu is a Pulldown menu, the
       post_from_widget widget must be either a CascadeButton or a CascadeButtonGadget.

       menu	 Specifies the widget ID of a the Popup or Pulldown menu to be made inaccessible from the post_from_widget widget.

       post_from_widget
		 Specifies the widget ID of the widget which can no longer post the menu referred to by the menu argument..
