I don't know which version it is, but current 3.3 says:

“Force the binary I/O layers of stdin, stdout and  stderr  to  be
unbuffered.  The text I/O layer will still be line-buffered.”

I would argue that test_httpservers is wrong, since it uses print() in a
CGI script where sys.stdout.buffer.write() should really be used.
