I am trying to follow the tutorial at http://www.slideshare.net/niloyghosh1984/qgis-tutorial-1
and I got to slide 24 of 47 whereupon I tried to use the mmqgis plugin to open the csv file, but I got this error:
Error: new-line character seen in unquoted field - do you need to open the file in universal-newline mode?
After searching for solutions to this error it indeed appears that I need to open this file in universal-newline mode...rU
How do I do that?

The bug tracker isn't a good place to get help on using Python.  You are more likely to find people to answer this sort of question on the python-list mailing list.  If you are using python3, the answer is to use newline='', as discussed in the documentation.
