I guess I'm asking all these questions to figure out why this thread
starts in Pythonmac and not in a Pythonunix list. Your answer seems to
imply that Python uses \n as a line separator because C does. And me and
Chris are surprised at Python's behavior because we were not aware of
the use of \n in C to "define" the line separator independently of
platform. Thus my question about whether this issue also appears in
JPython.
