That code (using my own local files, of course) basically works for me. If I open my input file with mode 'r', as you did above, my '\r\n' pairs get transformed to '\n' when I read them in and are written to my output file as 0x00 0x0A. If I open the input file in binary mode 'rb' then my output file shows the expected sequence of 0x00 0x0D 0x00 0x0A. Perhaps there's a quirk of your version of python or your platform?
