Mmh. I wouldn't be surprised if under pythonwin, sys.stdout is not the true python sys.stdout. Check the following: sys.stdout is sys.__stdout__ The answer is probably false. In that case, they may have implemented some incomplete object whose flush method is broken, or something similar. I can't confirm, as I don't have windows access, so this is just a guess.
