I pulled processing 0.50 from PyPI today in the form of a zip archive. I unzipped it on a Solaris machine using "unzip -a" but it thought all the files were binary (and zipinfo confirms this), so it didn't convert the CRLF line terminators to LF. Is this a side effect of the way the zip archive was constructed? I don't see anything conclusive which tells me the zip archive was built with distutils, but you folks are the packaging experts so I thought I'd ask here first. Is there something I can do simpler than a shell for loop and tr -d '\015' command to get rid of the annoying ^M characters? Thanks, Skip Montanaro
