COPY should go before the data and end-of-data (\. not .\) should
go after the data.  Also, in text mode the default delimiter is the
tab character (\t) so you can omit it unless you prefer to be
explicit.  Try something like this (with a tab after 2713):

copy tablename (col1, col2) from stdin;
2713    {3.70952,1.45728,0.134339,3.99197,2.22381,-0.435095,6.9}
\.
