Python的问题：打开应用程序/保存文件

Question

I am a bit new to coding, I am trying to improve my skills. My preferred programming language is python. But I do need help with this bit of code. I am making an app called User Helper for my own use. I know that the code may look a bit sloppy, but when I posted it in for some reason I put four spaces in but it didn't turn to a block of code, so I had to manually put in the spaces.

But back to the topic at hand, my code has 2 problems (though you could probably find more.) I am not able to save my favorites to a document for later use when I open the app again. As well I don't know the code to open an app from python code.

I have tried many different methods including using the os function. I think I may need some sort of directory, but I'm sorry to say I am unfamiliar with directories and I have had trouble with them. The time function will be used later in the project. And for some reason when I run this program, it tries to find a path from the folder all my coding projects are in.

I also want to thank you for reading this, and I hope I can get this solved soon. I plan to become an active member in this community, and I can't wait to continue improving my skills in coding.

Thank you for your time!

import os
import time

def name():
  print ""
  print ""
  print "Welcome to User Helper!"
  name1 = raw_input("What is your name?  ")
  print ""
  print "Welcom to User helper "+name1+"!"

def favorites():
  print ""
  print "Now opening Favorites settings..."
  fav1 = raw_input("Favorite 1: ")
  fav2 = raw_input("Favorite 2: ")
  fav3 = raw_input("Favorite 3: ")
  fav1full = fav1+".app"
  fav2full = fav2+".app"
  fav3full = fav3+".app"
  fav1_path = os.path.abspath(fav1full)
  fav2_path = os.path.abspath(fav2full)
  fav3_path = os.path.abspath(fav3full)
  os.system(fav1_path)

name()
favorites()

You can use os.chdir() to change default directory and os.startfile() to open the program or file directly. As for saving it for later use, if you want to save it to a text file, I'll include it in my answer.
