[PythonCE] line-endings problem with PythonCE

[Michael Foord]

This is because many python files are saved with UNIX line endings 
instead of windows ones.

The easiest solution is simply to get python to open them and then write 
them back out again.

handle = open(filename, 'r')
thefile = handle.read()
handle.close()
open(filename, 'w')..write(thefile)

will do the job.
