Consider using "with" to automatically close the file and os.path for 
cross-platform compatibility:

    import os.path
    user_home = os.path.expanduser('~')
    test_absname = os.path.join(user_home, 'Desktop', 'test.txt')
    
    with open(test_absname, 'w') as test:
        test.write('testing 1... 2... 3...')
