Python really writes '\n\r' on Windows. Just check the files.

That's backwards. '\r\n' on Windows, IF you omit the b in the mode when
creating the file.

Indeed! My mistake just made me find out that Acorn used that inversion on 
Acorn MOS.

According to this[1] (at page 449) the OSNEWL routine outputs '\n\r'.

What the hell those guys were thinking??? :p

Doing it that way saved a few bytes.

Code was something like this:

FFE3    .OSASCI CMP #&0D
FFE5            BNE OSWRCH
FFE7    .OSNEWL LDA #&0A
FFE9            JSR OSWRCH
FFEC            LDA #&0D
FFEE    .OSWRCH ...

This means that the contents of the accumulator would always be
preserved by a call to OSASCI.

"OSNEWL
This call issues an LF CR (line feed, carriage return) to the currently selected
output stream. The routine is entered at &FFE7."
