create a folder in the directory and save files in the new folder

Question

I want to do the following in my program:

a) ask the user to type the name of a folder
b) create the folder in my directory
c) write files to this created folder

I've created the folder in my directory but I did not manage to write the text to a file and save it in this new folder. My strategy was to open for writing inserting the complete path of the directory + the variable that stores the name of the folder, but it did not work. Can anyone help me with that?

 final_text=' '.join(l)
    final_text=final_text.replace(' ,',',')
    #print('\n\n', final_text)

    def createFolder(directory):
        try:
            if not os.path.exists(directory):
                os.makedirs(directory)
        except OSError:
            print('Error: Creating directory. '+ directory)

    user2=input('\nWrite text to a file? Type "Y" for yes or "N" for no:')

    if user2 =='Y':
        text_name=input("name your folder. E.g. './texts/': ")
        createFolder(text_name)
        out_file=open('/Users/nataliaresende/Dropbox/PYTHON/'+text_name,"w")
        out_file.write(final_text)
        out_file.close()
        print('\n\nText named',text_name, 'was written to a file. Check your directory')

    else:
        print('ok')

You can first create folder, then create file within that folder:

import os

user_input = input('\nWrite text to a file? Type "Y" for yes or "N" for no:')
if user_input == 'Y':
    folder_name = input('name your folder. E.g. "texts": ')
    folder = os.path.join('/Users/nataliaresende/Dropbox/PYTHON/', folder_name)
    file_name = '{}.txt'.format(folder_name)
    file = os.path.join(folder, file_name)
    os.makedirs(folder)
    with open(file, 'w') as f:
        f.write('Some text')
    print('\n\nText named "{}" was written to a file. Check your directory: {}'.format(file_name, folder))
else:
    print('OK')
