Thank you for challenging my parochial world view.  

I have posted yet another version of PythonTidy:

This one is omnivorous wrt to newlines.

When OVERRIDE_NEWLINE = None, the first newline encountered on input
is the one used throughout the output; otherwise, you can set it to
what you want, e.g, OVERRIDE_NEWLINE = '\n'.

Here is a new global:  DOUBLE_QUOTED_STRINGS = True.
