I think I'd go with this:
>>> def strip_newlines(iterable):
... for line in iterable:
... yield line.rstrip('\r\n')
...
>>> list(strip_newlines(['one\n', 'two\r', 'three']))
['one', 'two', 'three']
Or if I care about optimizing the for loop (but we're talking about
file I/O, so probably not), this might be faster:
>>> import operator
>>> def strip_newlines(iterable):
... return map(operator.methodcaller('rstrip', '\r\n'), iterable)
...
>>> list(strip_newlines(['one\n', 'two\r', 'three']))
['one', 'two', 'three']
Then the iteration is just:
for line in strip_newlines(f):
