Linux, Python, and pipes

Here's a question. Pardon me if this is a FAQ (frequently answered
question.)
Anyone know what's up with pipes and Python on Linux? It seems that
when trying to pipe the output of a Python program, the pipe does not
start flowing until the Python program exits. For programs with long
running times and lots of log/debug output, that means you can't begin
to look at the output until the program terminates.
I've seen this on a variety of Linux systems (kernel 2.0 and 2.2) with
a variety of Python versions.
Any ideas? I'd hate to go mucking around in the internals to see
what's going on.
thanks
