I read in the docs that "bufsize=1" causes line buffering. (for subprocess.Popen)
The following tiny program launches an executable file and then receives its output. That works, but I want to receive each line as it is ouput, not all of the lines at termination, which is what is happening. ------------------------------------------------------- from subprocess import Popen, PIPE from os import remove, sep p = Popen("." + sep + "myprogram", stdout=PIPE, bufsize=1) while(1): line = p.stdout.readline() # get next line print line, if line.count("terminator"): break ------------------------------------------------------ How can I get line buffering?
