not really knowing how python reads in the files...would something 
like this work for you guys?

--just trying to be slightly helpful..:)

// this function gets one line from a file regardless of unix/mac/dos
int getline ( char *s, FILE *in )
{
	int c, i =3D 0;

	while ( MAXLINE >=3D i ) {
		c =3D fgetc(in);
		if ( c =3D=3D EOF ) return 0;
		if ( c =3D=3D '\r' || c =3D=3D '\n' ) {
			s[i] =3D '\0';
			return ( 1 );
		}
		s[i] =3D c;
		i++;
	}
	return ( 0 );
}
