[Tutor] Saving files in Python, etc.

[Cow]

Hey, my name is Ryan.

I have been programming Visual Basic for about 2 years (on and off) and i decided i wanted to learn another programming language to go along with it.  I looked around and found Python to be very appealing.  I decided to give it a go and i love it.  I am slowly learning the basics and newer things ever day.  I plan to make a Text editor 9or program similiar to one) in Python, but i do not know how to save a file in Python.  lets say i have:

name=raw_input("What is your name?")
age =input("How old are you?")
favcolor=raw_input("What is your favorite color?")

and after the user enters in that information, i want it to save the values of the variables into a new text file.  how could you do that with Python code?

Also, how can you change the color of the console window (in which your program runs in) using code in Python?

Thanks a bunch
-Ryan
