raw_input yields trailing carriage return ('\r') when C:\Python27\python.exe is called using the -u option
How to reproduce the error: save the attached file 'input.py' which contains the following lines
-- begin input.py --
i = raw_input("enter y or n: ")
print(repr(i))
print([ord(c) for c in i])
-- end input.py --
then run the two following commands from a windows command shell
	python input.py
	python -u input.py
and compare the output. (see transcript 1 below)
The same bug affects also the interactive mode: start 'python -u' and enter an arbitrary command. You will get a syntax error at the end of line. (see transcript 2 below)
