Or edit it in Vim and do

:se ff=unix

and then save it.

dos2unix is handy if you don't plan to edit the file for any other reason. I'm assuming other editors provide similar features, but I've been a vi/vim user FOREVER.

Or, borrowed from a Stack Overflow thread here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/800030/remove-carriage-return-in-unix

|sed 's/\r\n$/\n/' mymodule.py > mymodule-unix.py|

I use FreeBSD or Linux, but my son is learning Python and is using

My question is this: Would it be good practice for him to put
#!/usr/bin/ env python at the top of his scripts, so that if made
executable on *nix they will be OK? As I understand it this will
have no effect on Windows itself.
Adding the shebang line on Windows would be excellent practice.
A word of warning unless this has since been resolved: Whenever I have tried 
adding the shebang line on Windows and running it on Unix the latter has 
complained about the carriage return at the end of the line. This means that 
Unix does not work when invoked as follows.
(And, yes, the file has had chmod +x applied.)

   ./program.py

It is, of course, OK when run as

   python program.py

but that removes some of the benefit of the shebang line.
