The line should be:

file1.write(file_data)

you could write

file.write(file1, file_data)

but that would be an odd way to do it :)

file is a built-in type and

file.write(file1)

is roughly equivalent to

file1.write()

The latter is the preferred way to invoke the method; thus the (confusing) 
error message

> TypeError: function takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)

is trying to convey that you are not providing any data to write. The 
correct call instead of

> file.write(file1)

is then

file1.write(file_data)

You are trying to write the open file (file1) in the file type.

I think that you wanted to write in file1, the data:

file1.write(file_data)   # instead of file.write(file1)
