File handling
#1
Although I have been programming since 1956, I can't get beyond simple things in Python, in particular, getting data into and out of files.
I opened a file ('a'), and wrote 2 lines in it, acknowledged by the character count.
Closed it, opened it to read, but reading produces blank output:

tf = open('testfile.txt', 'a')
tf.write('line1')
tf.write('line2')
tf.close
tg = open('testfile.txt', 'r')
print(tg.read())
tg.close 
The print command gives me a blank line. What am I doing wrong?
