Hm, I was under the impression that Python already took care of removing
the \r at a line ending. Checking that right now:

(DOS encoded file "y")
>>> for line in open("y", "r"): print(line.encode("utf-8"))
...
b'foo\n'
b'bar\n'
b'moo\n'
b'koo\n'

Yup, the \r was removed automatically. Are there cases when it isn't?

Cheers,
Johannes
