Use time.sleep() to see the effects of (line) buffering. Type the following in your interactive interpreter and be enlightened ;) >>> import sys, time >>> for i in range(10): ... print i, ... time.sleep(.1) ... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >>> for i in range(10): ... print i, ... sys.stdout.flush() ... time.sleep(.1) ... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
