Appears that way where? Using what tool to view it?

My guess is that there is nothing wrong with the file, but that
whatever you're using to view it is simply displaying it as two lines
even though it is actually one.

Or the "line" contains an embedded newline.

The OP may like to insert some debug code just before he writes the
line:
print line.find('\n'), len(line), repr(line)

and tell us how long is "very long".
