Ok, perhaps I'm being a little dim but if I do

s = 'Spam is not ham'
s.replace('Spam', '')
and write it to a new file, should I not get 'is not ham'?

Instead I am getting an empty file or in the case of multiple lines in
the file, the whole of the line 'Spam is not ham' is gone but 'I'm fond
of ham' remains.
