Can Python fix vcard files?

KDE's Kontact PIM breaks quoted-printable vcard files because it
linebreaks in the middle of a word. Take this text for example:
NOTE;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=D7=A9=D7=95=D7=A8=D7=94 =D7=A
 8=D7=90=D7=A9=D7=95=D7=A0=D7=94.\n=D7=94=D7=A9=D7=95=D7=A8=D7=94 =D7=94=D7=
 A9=D7=A0=D7=99=D7=94 =D7=9B=D7=\n

The whole thing should be on one line, and the spaces at the beginning
of each line shouldn't be there at all. I have a directory with 422
files corrupted like this.

Can Python go through a directory of files and replace each instance
of "newline-space" with nothing? The system is Ubuntu 8.04 with KDE if
it matters. Thanks.
