def replaceTagging(source_name, target_name):
      source_file = file(source_name, 'r')
      source = source_file.read()       # not really necessary

this reads the entire file as a string

      target_file = open(target_name, "w")
      # replacement loop
      for line in source:

this iterates over the characters in the string.
Remove the two source lines above and use

for line in open(source_name):
