help using (x)inetd

[rahvee at yaahhoo.com]

I have xinetd accepting a tcp connection on some port, and spawning a 
process that I wrote.  

The process wants to have a conversation.  It can take input, it can 
make output, but when it prints some output, that output gets buffered 
by xinetd, and it is never received by the client until the process 
closes.  My process is written in python.

How can I signal inetd to flush the buffer?

Thank you.
