On Windows, FSPythonScripts may use DOS lineends.

Indeed, it looks this way.


However, there is another caveat:

  Sometimes files with DOS lineends end up in CVS (maybe SVN)
  (in your own that of the developpers). When they are extracted
  from Windows, then the DOS lineend "\r\n" can become
  "\r\r\n" and that Python does not like even under Windows.


You can easily find out whether you have a lineend problem
by examining your files with a binary viewer (do not know
what such a binary viewer is under Windows -- under *nix,
"od" is one).
