You do some work in texto, and never write it to the output file.  
Instead you write stuff you hard-coded in literal strings in your program.

And you never fixed the mode field of the first open() function, as 
someone hinted at you.   And you don't specify the output file location, 
but just assume it's in the current directory.  For that matter, your 
open of the input file assumes it's in the current directory as well.  
But your assignment specified where both files would/should be.
