I don't think that in general you want to fold multiple empty lines into one. This would be my prefered regex:
s = re.sub(r"\r\n?", "\n", s)
Catches both DOS and old-style Mac line endings. Alternatively, you can use s.splitlines():
s = "\n".join(s.splitlines()) + "\n"
This also makes sure the string ends with a \n, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your application.
Do people consider this a bug that should be fixed in Python 2.4.1 and Python 2.3.6 (if it ever exists), or is the resposibility for doing this transformation on the application that embeds Python?
