Off the top of my head I don't know (and it may well vary by Python
version).  Just leave out the dangerous parts of the loop to check:

    for f in glob.glob('*.vcf'):
        # corrupt data
        uncooked = open(f, 'rb').read()
        # fix it
        cooked = uncooked.replace('\n ', '')
        # and write it to the bit bucket
        open(os.path.devnull, 'wb').write(cooked)
