I wonder if Python rewrites CRLFs when reading a text file with
open/read?
For those seeing the same thing, the answer is yes: On Windows, the
code above turns CRLF into LF. I tried "rb" instead of "r", with no
difference.
Sorry but that is not what's happening. Your problem is not in reading the
file, it's in the regular expression you're using.
Using open with the "rb" flag leaves the file content intact and does not munge newlines
in any way. A read() will return the exact bytes that are in the file.
