This has been sitting in the back of my head for a while so I decided to make it. It will "clean" a file by replacing the dictionary's keys with it's values. It can be used on text files, and html files, whatever. Not really practical I just thought of it when I first started programming and didn't know how to do, but now I do 
.
.Code:
def clean(name):
#add any curses you like, the keys represent curses, their values represent them filtered
curses = {'crap' : 'crap', 'bitch' : 'female dog', 'fudge' : 'fudge'}
string = ''
file = open(name)
reader = file.readlines()
for x in reader:
string = string.join(x)
file.close
for x in curses.keys():
if x in string:
string = string.replace(x, curses[x])
file = open(name, 'w')
file.write(string)
file.close
print 'The file hase been successfully filtered'
if __name__ == '__main__':
name = str(raw_input('What is the name of the file you want filtered?:'))
clean(name)
