Perhaps you should mention what the problem is, not just the code. Just
guessing here, are you writing a file containing '\n' on Windows? If so,
those '\n' get automatically expanded to '\r\n' because that's the way
Windows does newlines. The only way to get around this (AFAIK) is to open
both files in binary body ('rb' respectively 'wb') and read one character
at a time. If that character's ord() is 10 (or is <CR> 13? I keep mixing
them up), don't write it to the out_file, otherwise do write it.
