Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment:
The problem is reproducible with the python2 versions I have access to, that
is, on Mac OS X and Debian Linux, and likewise not with any of the python3 3.1
and 3.2 versions. It is most likely due to the underlying ncurses library
interacting with the libc stdio, maybe changing the buffer size of the stdout
file. The output is flushed as expected if the program is changed to use the
python2.7 io module to write to stdout, like python3 does, rather than print
which uses the 'file' object. As a workaround on python2, it looks like the
expected behavior can be restored by closing and reopening sys.stdout with
something like this:
f()
stdout=sys.stdout
print('Calling bug() now!')
bug()
fn = sys.stdout.fileno()
sys.stdout.close()
sys.stdout = os.fdopen(fn,'a')
f()
