How to write dos newline in unix?

[Inyeol Lee]

Is there any simple way to dos-style newline (\r\n) in *nix environment,
not by writing "\r" explicitly? What I'm trying to do is;

ofile = file("foo", "w")
print "hello, world"

Then it writes "hello, world\r\n".

I tried to assign "\r\n" to ofile.newlines but failed because it's
read-only attribute.

.... def __init__(self, dest):
.... self.dest = dest
.... def write(self, s):
.... self.dest.write(s.replace("\n", "\r\n"))
.... def __getattr__(self, name):
.... return getattr(self.dest, name)
....'so what\r\nwill this print?\r\n'

Simple enough?
