I did this some time ago for the same problem.
# -- line ending
f = open(file, 'rb')
temp = f.read()
f.seek(0)
crNum = string.count(temp, '\r')
lfNum = string.count(temp, '\n')
if lfNum == crNum:	# dos
	f.close()
	os.rename(file, join(doneFolder, split(file)[1][:27]) + '.dos')
	temp = string.replace(temp, '\n\r', '\n')
	f = open(file, 'w')
	f.write(temp)
	f.close()
	f = open(file)
elif crNum:
	f.close()
	os.rename(file, join(doneFolder, split(file)[1][:27]) + '.uix')
	temp = string.replace(temp, '\r', '\n')
	f = open(file, 'w')
	f.write(temp)
	f.close()
	f = open(file)
