Implemented. Thanks. At the moment I also use: ======================================================================== from __future__ import division, print_function . . . # To work with Python2 the flush is a seperate statement print('It took {0:.5f} seconds'.format(end_time - start_time)) sys.stdout.flush() ======================================================================== Would it be better to use: ======================================================================== from six import print_ . . . print_('It took {0:.5f} seconds'.format(end_time - start_time), flush = true) ======================================================================== -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
