Not true. Python 2.3 added the "U" option for file opening to use universal newline support for any file you open. See http://www.python.org/doc/2.3/whatsnew/node7.html .

Whups, something new! Anyway, that link doesn't say anything about writing, only reading. It does not appear that you can specify what platform to write to with U mode.
