In the lib folder most files use unix newlines, except for scrolltextwidget.py and subasyncio.py. I don't think there is any intentional reason for it, merely an oversight.
Windows Python should be able to handle Unix \n newlines fine.

Using unzip -a on Mobi_Unpack_vXXX.zip is perfectly safe as it is a pure python implementation (all text files) and includes no binary files. That is why unzip has the -a option to begin with. And that is why I suggested you to use it.
Multiple people have developed these scripts on multiple platforms using multiple text editors and they will continue to do so. So some python files may end up as having \r\n at various points in time depending on what platform they were edited on last. So as I explained all you need do is unpack them properly using unzip -a and all will be well. Or use dos2unix as DiapDealer suggested.
