How about:

>>> linesep = '\n'
>>> text = 'erewr  \t  \r\nafjdskl  \r\n  \r\npythonlist'
>>> linesep.join([ x.rstrip() for x in
text.replace('\r\n','\n').replace('\r','\n').split('\n')
])
'erewr\nafjdskl\n\npythonlist'

Which right-strips the line endings, tabs and spaces from the ends of lines
in a string derived from either Windows, Mac and Unix  or mixed files

HTH :)
