[Tutor] end of line character seems to be invisible. why?

[Kermit Rose]

I ran the program 
 
#    inp = open("CMT_MCAID", "rb") 
#    out = open("mcaid.txt", "w") 
 
#    for I in range(1,1000): 
#        if I I%60=== 0: 
#            out.write('\n') 
#        ch = inp.read(1) 
#        if not ch: break # EOF 
#        k = ord(ch) # convert to integer 
#        kl = k % 16 
#        kh = k / 16 
#        out.write('%d %d ' % (kh, kl)) 
#        out.close()
 
 
I added the lines
 
#        if I%60 == 0: 
#            out.write('\n') 
 
because the output was one long line, and  I wanted to be able to see the
output when
I opened the file with notepad.
 
I expected that it would break the line at every 60 characters.
 
It made no difference.  The output file is still one long line.
