re.match oddity

[Issac]

A curious thing is happening in my c2py.py script (below).
The resulting files contain little ^M's (when viewed with the Windows
version of gvim 6.0 but not when viewed with notepad.exe) at the ends
of the lines.  When I remove the lines 

    line_is_lone_left_curly = re.match(r'^\s*{\s*((//.*)|(/\*.*\*/))?$', line)
    if line_is_lone_left_curly:
      pylines[-1] = pylines[-1][:-1] + ':\n'
      continue

the ^M's go away.  Does anyone know why?  I'm using Python 2.1.1 
on Cygwin with Windows 2000.
