Replace string does not work in python 3.2

Question

I have a template file: 'template.txt' like below:

class Core_Model_DbTable_{table_name} extends YouNet_Db_Table
{
    const TYPE_PRINTED      = 1;
    const TYPE_DIGITAL      = 2;

    protected $_name = '{table_name}';
    protected $_rowClass = 'Core_Model_{table_name:short}';
}

And I use Python 3.2 to read that file and try to replace:

{table_name} => Coupons

{table_name:short} => Coupon

and here my code:

in_file = open("template.txt","r")
text    = in_file.read()
in_file.close()
txt = text.replace("{table_name}","Coupons")
txt = text.replace("{table_name:short}","Coupon")

But the output only shows the result:

c:\Python32\python.exe builder.py

<?php

class Core_Model_DbTable_{table_name} extends YouNet_Db_Table
{
        const TYPE_PRINTED      = 1;
        const TYPE_DIGITAL      = 2;

        protected $_name = '{table_name}';
        protected $_rowClass = 'Core_Model_Coupon';
}

Could you please tell me anything is wrong here?

You seem to have misspelled the name of your variable: "txt" vs "text".
