that's probably because it *does* contain a newline. try printing the
line with
print repr(line)
before and after you make the change, to see what's going on.

peter's complete example contains one way to solve that:
if line.startswith("==="):
line = line.rstrip() + "===\n"

reading the chapter on strings in your favourite Python tutorial once
again might help, I think. python have plenty of powerful tools for
string processing, and most of them are quite easy to learn and use; a
quick read of the tutorial and a little more trial and error before
posting should be all you need.
