Writing in text files using python does not work

When i create and write in a text file using the python code below, it executes successfully. However, when i open the text file, it does not show anything written in it!

newl=[]
    print ""
    while 1:
        tks=raw_input("# ")
        if tks=="/":
            text=''.join(newl)
            print text
            filen=open('c:/Users/Admin/Desktop/snickcode.txt', 'w')
            filen.write(str(text))
            filen.close
            print "#saved to desktop, please rename the file before reuse"
            print "{non}"
            print ""
            break
        else:
            gig=(str(tks))
            newl.append(gig)
            print newl

I assume / is the first input you tried. Because this

text=''.join(newl)
...
filen.write(str(text))

is what you write you the file and

newl=[]

doesn't contain any items at that point, the contents of the file remain 'empty'.
