Thats just the Windows line ending.
If you want to use the same file on both Windowscand Linux then
you will need to either get used to it or run the DOS2Unix tool
(and UNIX2DOS going back to Windows).

It shouldn't cause any faults in the programs when they run, it is
just a nuisance when working in the editor. Some editors are intelligent
enough to deal with this transparently - eg. I think vim and Scite both do 
this.
If you regularly edit on both OS then it might be worth moving from IDLE
to one of those editors.
