I think you find the chunks are 4k each. > Is anyone able to give me suggestions on what's going on here? Your stdout is alomost certain a C FILE* underneath which when writing to a file is buffer in 4k chunks. In C, you can change the output buffering using the setvbuf function. Not sure how to do this in Python.
