Python tar script; no errors; no output

This script produces no errors. It also does not produce an output file. Any ideas?

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python

import tarfile

output_filename = 'etc.tar'
source_dir = '/etc/'

#To build a .tar.gz for an entire directory tree:

def make_tarfile(output_filename, source_dir):
    with tarfile.open(output_filename, "w:gz") as tar:
        tar.add(source_dir, arcname=os.path.basename(source_dir))
