Here is a slightly modified script for the Salary Calculator. This time we are writing the result to a text file. Some folks over on the Python forum helped me with target.write(str(round(total, 2)).encode()) as I could not figure a way to round the decimal place correctly.

# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-

from sys import argv
script, answer = argv

def salary(weeks, payments):
    return (weeks * payments)

weeks = (float(raw_input("Weeks: ")))
payments = (float(raw_input("Payments: ")))

total = salary(weeks, payments)

target = open(answer, 'w')
target.truncate()

target.write(str(round(total, 2)).encode())

target.close()
