If the function returns a string, then one possibility is:

function_output = function(param1, param2, ...)
f = open('myfile.txt', 'w')
f.write(function_output)
f.close()


Another possibility is:

f = open('myfile.txt', 'w')
f.write(function(param1, param2, ...))
f.close()

As in all things Python, always have an Interpreter window open and just
play around and experiment. I would make up some dummy files (not
important ones) to do this type of experimenting with. But you will most
likely not hurt anything, and it is the best way to learn.
