PDF file generated with pyPdf won't open

I am generating a PDF file using the pyPdf library in python.

After I generate the file and I try to open it I will receive the following error: File type plain text document (text/plain) is not supported

If I rename the file with .txt and I open it, it will work and display what I have written in the file.

This is the code:

from pyPdf import PdfFileWriter
output = PdfFileWriter()
outputStream = file("/home/documet_test.pdf","wb")
outputStream.write("Hello world")
outputStream.close()

What am I missing?

Using reportlab library will solve the problem:

from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas

c = canvas.Canvas("hello.pdf") 
c.drawString(100,750,"Welcome to Reportlab!")
c.save()
