I don't know if this helps? It seems reasonable to me - as far as Python C code is concerned, code strings should be \n-separated, just like in Unix. The only place CRLF is applicable is in code read from files, where the C runtime converts it to \n-delimited before the Python APIs see it (as far as I understand it, which isn't very far...) The long and short of it is that I believe you just use \n to delimit lines on Windows, just like anywhere else. Regards, Paul. -- SCSI is not magic.
