So now the challenge is to use the read().replace magic for multiple values.
It's crude, but it works well for me!
You do need to watch out for matches that are part of something else.
For example, if you had this:
template = "REPLACE_THIS but DONT_REPLACE_THIS"
and you did:
result = template.replace("REPLACE_THIS", "Python")
you would get:
"Python but DONT_Python"
