In Python 2.3.0 the fileinput module does not appear to use universal line ending mode for reading files. I found this using MacPython 2.3 (via the binary installer) but looking at the module it appears to be vanilla code. I confess I didn't see where the files were opened, so I cannot suggest a fix.

Sample code:

import fileinput
for line in fileinput.input():
	print line[0:20]

try this with text files that have some other platform's line endings. For me, it works on MacOS X for files with unix line endings, but fails if the file(s) have Mac line endings.
