THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO FIX THIS!

If Larry's code actually helped you, that means the C code is sending 
you a file name which contains a newline.  THAT IS A BUG IN THE C CODE.  
You should not be working around the bug in your Python code.  Instead, 
you should fix the actual bug, in the COM object that is sending the string.
