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

reject

accept(1M)						  System Administration Commands						accept(1M)

NAME

       accept, reject - accept or reject print requests

SYNOPSIS

       accept destination...

       reject [-r reason] destination...

DESCRIPTION

       accept allows the queueing of print requests for the named destinations.

       reject prevents queueing of print requests for the named destinations.

       Use lpstat -a to check if destinations are accepting or rejecting print requests.

       accept and  reject must be run on the print server; they have no meaning to a client system.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported  for reject:

       -r reason       Assigns	a reason for rejection of print requests for  destination. Enclose  reason in quotes if it contains blanks. reason
		       is reported by lpstat -a. By default, reason is unknown reason for existing destinations, and new printer for  destinations
		       added to the system but not yet accepting requests.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported.

       destination     The name of the destination accepting or rejecting print requests.  Destination specifies the name of a printer or class of
		       printers (see  lpadmin(1M)). Specify  destination using atomic name.   See  printers.conf(4) for information regarding  the
		       naming conventions for  atomic names.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.

FILES

       /var/spool/lp/*	       LP print queue.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWpcu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |CSI			     |Enabled (see NOTES)	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       enable(1), lp(1), lpstat(1), lpadmin(1M), lpsched(1M), printers.conf(4), attributes(5)

NOTES

       accept  and  reject   affect  only  queueing on the print server's spooling system. Requests made from a client system remain queued in the
       client system's queueing mechanism until they are cancelled or accepted by the print server's spooling system.

       accept is CSI-enabled except for the destination name.
