There has been a bug in Zope since ages, where multiline python in tal 
fails if it has Window line endings.

Eg. this will fail with windows line endings:

<div tal:content="content python:' '.join(['oh',
                                    'bugger'])">

This does not have multiline Python in the tal expression and will not fail:

<div tal:attributes="title string:a title;
                      id python: '42';">

I have no idea if it is a manifestation of the same problem.


Since no one with the knowledge of the ZPT is willing to fix it, I did 
it for myself by setting up my svn rules to linux line endings ...


But it is clearly an annoying bug. Imagine if plain Python worked that 
way :-(
