Python remove blanks within a txt file

Question

I wish to remove all empty spaces in a txt file

with open('helosystem1.txt', 'r') as f:
    txt = f.read().replace(' ', '')

with open('helosystem1.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(txt)

has no effect, however if I run

tr -d '[:blank:]' <helosystem1.txt > helosystem1.csv

from the command line works perfectly. Why can't I do it in Python?
