I seem to be heading in this direction.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import re
from os.path import exists

script, template_file = argv
print "Opening the template file..."

with open (template_file, "r") as a_string:
    data=a_string.read().replace('BRAND', 'Fluxotine')
print(data)

So now the challenge is to use the read().replace magic for multiple values.
