That just flips the problem to the other side. Now if I have a Python library that I'm mixing w/ .NET code I need to be sure to transform the line endings, but now from \n -> \r\n (and hopefully they'd detect the new-line style they should use so it works correctly on Mono on *nix or Silverlight on OS X as well). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
