Reading from a process that will block if you ask too much yet won't let you know how much there is to read right now has to be some kind of FAQ. > This doesn't answer if the interpreter doesn't flush its output buffer > after every line.

It may not flush its buffer after every line but it must flush them at the end of an answer. -- O.L. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
