How to have Bio.Blast NCBIWWW return an .xml file to my hard disk

I've been acquiring basic Python skills over the last few months and am now learning how to apply these skills and new ones to bioinformatics. I've just gotten started with a few "simple" Biopython tools and am a bit stumped on the following. I am able to run Bio.Blast with import of NCBIWWW and NCBIXML to obtain a screen print out of the results, but what I would really like is a file on my hard drive, for example, my_blastn_result.xml, for both the NCBIWWW and NCBIXML stages of the run. I can't believe there isn't a way to do this, but for the life of me I cannot find it in the Biopython documentation. Any help would be much appreciated.
