Is this expected behaviour?
No, that's a bug:
http://bugs.python.org/issue11272
IMO it's severe enough to warrant a brown-bag release...
Thanks, Peter.
I guess I should have checked the bug tracker first.
FWIW, I have found a workaround that seems to work on both platforms -
x = input().rstrip()
xyz
len(x)
3
x
'xyz'
Obviously this will also strip trailing spaces, but it will do for my
purposes.
