that's probably because it handles "native" line endings OK -- so the 
problem only shows up if you process a file with DOS endings on a *nix 
machine.

I imagine most of us have set up our version control system to do line 
ending translation.

right - the old mac-style '\r' is pretty much dead -- it will only show 
up if someone is working with old files generated by a "Classic" app. 
Or, I suppose, if they changed the defaults on their editor a while back 
when they were using Classic apps, and haven't changed it back.

We haven't had a problem, but then again, I think most of our Cython 
code is being written in vim on Linux in a VM, then compiled on Windows, 
so probably *nix line endings...
