Patches are usually done with patch, using the output of diff -u.
bugs.python.org links to the Python wiki with Help : Tracker Documentation,
and searching the wiki can turn up some info on bug submission, but I don't
see any step-by-step instructions for newbies.

If you're not yet confident that this is really a bug or don't want to
wrestle with the bug tracker just now, you might get more disscussion on
the newsgroup comp.lang.python.  Probably the subject should not say "bug",
or you might only get suggestions to submit a bug, but rather something
like "Should SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.send_head() change text line
endings?", or whatever you think might provoke discussion.

FWIW, Python 2.6 and 3.0 are near release, so any accepted patch would at
the earliest go into the next after version of Python: 2.7 or 3.1.  Patches
often laguish and need a champion to push them through.  Helping review
other patches or bugs is one way to contribute.
