Hmmmm....
#include <Python.h>
int
main(void)
{
Py_Initialize();
PyRun_SimpleString("print 'What hath'\n"
"print 'Guido wrought?'\n");
Py_Finalize();
return 0;

As written this program works, at least with Python 2.4 on FreeBSD
4.11 and Solaris 9:
% ./foo
What hath
Guido wrought?
But if you change LF to CRLF like this:
PyRun_SimpleString("print 'What hath'\r\n"
"print 'Guido wrought?'\r\n");
then you get this:
% ./foo
File "<string>", line 1
print 'What hath'
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I don't know if that behavior is configurable or not.
