If it's meant to evidentiate then you should scan each byte an print it out
i.e.
o = open('yourfile'.'rb')

>>> o = open('paths.con','rb')
>>> for c in o.read():
...  if c == '\n':
...   print '\\n'
...  if c == '\r':
...   print '\\r'
...  print c,
...
unfortunately it will be a space between each letter. Maybe using 
sys.stderr.write (c) will avoid that.
