textin = open('weather.txt','r')

for word in textin:
if word == "weather":
swap = word.replace("weather","whether")

else:
swap = word
newtext+=swap

Explanation / Answer

f1 = open('weather.txt', 'r')#this will not load the data in file, it will only return a handle to read t2 = open('newtext.txt', 'w') data = f1.read()#now we have read all the text in file weather.txt and it is stored in data newtext = "" swap = "" textin = data.split(' ')#we break up the text into words separated by spaces for word in textin: if word == "weather": swap = word.replace("weather", "whether") elif word == "Weather": swap = word.replace("Weather", "Whether") else: swap = word newtext += swap + " " t2.write(newtext)#write the new text in file specified at t2
