Now that you say that, I seem to recall that this has been reported
before. It seems odd that in today's climate the Python interpreter
would not cope well with Windows-style newlines. Maybe there is some
configuration issue with Python itself?

Postgres is just passing the bytes from point A to point B. You could
maybe argue that it's a bad idea for pgAdmin to be using a
Windows-centric notion of newline, but I doubt you'll be able to sell
those guys on it. Really this seems like a robustness issue for Python.
