I've just run into this problem too!. But this seems that is something 
that changed. And I will tell why I think so:
I made a script on June 2004 and it worked as expected (without showing 
double spacing). Then I change PC and installed Py2.4 and last biopython
(1.4). Today I run the same program and it printed the fasta format with 
double space (see atached example).
So I think this a bug caused by either Python 2.4 or BioPy1.4 :)
