stream to string-question

Hi
	y=os.popen( 'netstat -a -n','r').read()
# Aktive Verbindungen
# 
#   Proto  Lokale Adresse         Remote-Adresse            Status
#   TCP    0.0.0.0:1171           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
#   TCP    130.149.164.212:1171   130.149.4.11:110       ESTABLISHED
	print y
	for i in y: 
		print "--------: ", i
The last is outputting each character in a single line. Is
there a function to convert this stream in the text-rows?
