Everything's fine, return code is 0.

If I give Python the "-u" option the following happens:

[cg at cg test]$ ./sqltest.py | tee /tmp/test.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./sqltest.py", line 12, in ?
    print row
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe


Broken pipe?? BTW it's the same with "|less", "|more", "|gzip" etc. I'm
confused.
cg.
