That's pretty much precisely wrong, since Python, like C, will in text
mode (the default) translate the local end-of-line sequence to a
newline.

The reason the original poster's code doesn't work is for some other
reason, probably that the test file he's using (which he didn't show
here) doesn't contain what he thinks it does.
