You can't "flush" an input stream. > so I am using the termios module. > I am receiving this exception > termios.error: (25, 'Inappropriate ioctl for device') termios only works on terminals, not pipes. It's a safe bet that your problem is that "nc" isn't flushing its stdout after each line (this is the default behaviour for stdio streams which don't correspond to a terminal). Check whether "nc" has a flag to line-buffer its output. If it doesn't, the simplest solution is probably to write a Python script which creates a pseudo-tty (using the "pty" module) and executes "nc" with its stdout associated with the pty. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
