[Tutor] subprocess adds %0A to end of string

[David]

Hi everyone.
Just learning :) I have one program to parse a podcast feed and put it 
into a file.

#!/usr/bin/python
"""Get feed date and link details"""
import feedparser
import sys

def getFeed():
     url = raw_input("Please enter the feed: ")
     data = feedparser.parse(url)
     for entry in data.entries:
         sys.stdout = open("podcast.txt", "a")
         print '%s: %s' % (entry.updated, entry.link)
         sys.stdout.close()
     for entry in data.entries:
         sys.stdout = open("podcast_links.txt", "a")
         print '%s' % (entry.link)
         sys.stdout.close()
getFeed()

next to get the latest item;

#!/usr/bin/python
"""read the last entry and download podcast"""
import subprocess
fname = "podcast.txt"
f = open(fname, 'r')
print "The Latest Podcast", f.readline()
print f.readline()
f.close()
lname = "podcast_links.txt"
L = open(lname, 'r')
print "The Latest Link\n"
download = L.readline()
print download

answer = raw_input("Do you want to download the podcast? ")
if answer == "y":
     wget = "wget"
     subprocess.call([wget, download])
else:
     print "oops"

and here is the output;

See how it adds the %0A to the end ?

I am just trying to get it to work, I know it needs a lot of work, error 
checking etc. And I am sure there are better ways, I am new.

thanks
