If you want to flush, you can use fp.flush()
(E.g., sys.stdout.flush()).

If you want stdout to autoflush you can do:

class AutoFlusher:

	def __init__(self, fp):
		self.fp = fp

	def write(self, s):
		self.fp.write(s)
		self.fp.flush()

	def writelines(self, lines):
		self.fp.writelines(lines)
		self.fp.flush()

sys.stdout = AutoFlusher(sys.stdout)
