Typically what happens is you view the file in an application that autrowraps long lines so it looks like multiple lines on screen but in fact it is one long line in the file. In that case Python will only see the single long line.
I'm using subEthaEdit, which will autowrap long lines, but it also displays line numbers, so there's no doubt where one begins and ends :)
