How do I save the changes I make to a file say for example if I change old to new in a file and then want to save the new changes to another file?

import string

file = open('c:/file.txt')

s = file.read()

s.replace('old', 'new')

 

Please excuse the questions if it sounds to basic, but I have not be able to find an example of how to do this in the documentation--or perhaps I simply didn't see it.
