Thanks for the sample code! It'll take me a while to digest....
But about newlines, I thought that '\n' was already a sort of universal
newline for Python. On windows platforms, both open.read and
open.readlines already transform '\r\n' into '\n' unless you use binary
mode. That's why I thought it was a discrepancy for codecs.open to
return '\r\n'.
