I don't think that in general you want to fold multiple empty lines into one. This would be my prefered regex:

s = re.sub(r"\r\n?", "\n", s) Catches both DOS and old-style Mac line endings. Alternatively, you can use s.splitlines(): s = "\n".join(s.splitlines()) + "\n" This also makes sure the string ends with a \n, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your application.

s = s.replace("\r", "\n"["\n" in s:])
