Re: Print statement isn't showing up?

I have the following code:
Python version? Plafform?
def ReplaceExternalWithCopy( localDir, remoteDir ):
print "Removing external local directory:", localDir
rmdirs( localDir )
vfxrepo.copy( remoteDir, localDir )

I noticed that the print statement above does not show up before
vfxrepo.copy() is called. the copy() function (as well as the rmdirs()
function) are very long file-system calls that take up to 5 minutes. I
should see a print statement before these are executed, but I do not.
Instead it shows up *after* the last 2 lines of code have completed. Is
there something broken about this?
There may be a buffering issue. After the print, try
import sys
sys.stdout.flush()
