Flushing print()

[gf gf]

Is there any way to make Python's print() flush
automatically, similar to...mmm...that other
language's $|=1 ?

If not, how can I flush it manually?
sys.stdout.flush() didn't seem to work.

Hello gf gf,

Yes; you can use the '-u' command line option to Python, which will
turn off stdout/stderr buffering.
: If not, how can I flush it manually? sys.stdout.flush() didn't
: seem to work.

Hmmmm, that's odd. sys.stdout.flush() should do it. How are you
testing that stdout isn't flushing as you expect?
Best of wishes to you!

gf, remember to write

rather than

sys.stdout.flush

That's a mistake that catches many.

Many old perl programmers anyway (me included)!

Its also a mistake pychecker catches.
