That makes sense I suppose -
why is there a stdin.flush() method then?

You cannot
flush input. The flush method only relates to output. The
*other*
side of the file has to flush *its* output in order for you to
see it as
input.
On Linux, the termios module provides a way to tell the system not
to do
any buffering on a file descriptor. pywin32 may expose
equivalent
functionality for Windows.
