title: Replacing "\r\n" with "\n"
body: <p>I have some text data that is printing out the actual characters "\r\n" (so four characters total).  I'd like to replace those four characters with the single "\n" character, but I can't seem to make Python do it for me.  I'm currently trying:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mytext.replace("\r\n", "\n")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that just prints out "\n" (two characters, not one).  I feel like I'm probably missing something obvious, but any help would be appreciated.</p>
