I was experimenting with subprocess.Popen with the following script: $ cat Popen_ex.py import sys, subprocess po = subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, 'hello.py'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, bufsize=0) for line in po.stdout: print line,
where hello.py is the following script: $ cat hello.py import time time.sleep(1) print 'hello' time.sleep(1) print 'world' time.sleep(1) print '*END*' time.sleep(1) It turns out that Popen collects all the output and write everything together after 4 seconds, where I would like to print a line every seconds. How can I get that in a simple way? A Unix-only solution would be fine, too. Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
