Zachary Ware <zachary.w...@gmail.com> added the comment: This is not a bug, it's a side effect of using the REPL for this test and not assigning the return value of `sys.stdout.write` to anything. Try the following:
>>> import sys >>> character_count = sys.stdout.write('python\n') # note trailing newline python >>> character_count 6 >>> print('python') python >>> Or try saving your original test to a file and running it. ---------- nosy: +zach.ware resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32656> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
