Twitter was giving me a different newline char

I was getting some memory issues and added some additional debug code - damn near took out my server:

<------><------>try:.
            <-->    data.append(c)
<------><------>except MemoryError:
<------><------>    print "OPPPS"
<------><------>    print data
<------><------>    print c
<------><------>    break

Returned the following:

OPPPS
['\n', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''  (The null was repeated until I killed the server some 500+ megs later)

This in my limited python should trigger on the \n now.
