I see the following in the PEP:
There is no support for universal newlines in strings passed to
eval() or exec. It is envisioned that such strings always have the
standard \n line feed, if the strings come from a file that file can
be read with universal newlines.
Does the above mean that the PyRun_*() family doesn't have universal
newline support? Or at least that some members of the family don't?
That would explain why the simple C program I tested failed.

If Python's behavior is intentional then the newline burden would
seem to be on the user or on plpythonu. I think Tom's point is
that that's just silly....
