How to flush print

[Jay Davis]

If you open a file the usual way, you can flush
the output buffer with .flush(). How do you flush
the output buffer of a print command, either
'print string' or 'print >>ofile, string' ?

print string

is really short for

sys.stdout.write("%s" % string)

so you can flush it with

sys.stdout.flush()
