TeamViewer APIs Python Calls - Write Success or Error to Output file

Question

I have the following code that works and I get the file output.txt. I would like for the output file to say success when it works and to provide error code when it doesn't.

import requests
import json
f = open('output.txt', 'w')
url = 'https://webapi.teamviewer.com/api/v1/account'
payload = {'name': 'alias', 'email': 'user@teamviewer.com'}
headers = {"content-type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer myuser token"}
r = requests.put(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
f.write(r.text)
f.close()

TeamViewer HTTP Response codes are:

200 – OK: Used for successful GET, POST and DELETE. 204 – No Content: Used for PUT to indicate that the update succeeded, but no content is included in the response. 400 – Bad Request: One or more parameters for this function is either missing, invalid or unknown. Details should be included in the returned JSON. 401 – Unauthorized: Access token not valid (expired, revoked, …) or not included in the header. 403 – Forbidden / Rate Limit Reached: IP blocked or rate limit reached. 500 – Internal Server Error: Some (unexpected) error on the server. The same request should work if the server works as intended.

You can get the result and error code from your response (assuming TeamViewer api is well behaved):

r = requests.put(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
if r.status_code == 200:
   f.write('success')
else
   f.write('{0}: {1}'.format(r.status_code, r.text))
