Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

I completely agree that file/socket output should be left alone. Flushing char 
by char to either is a bit insane. The two interactive to screen use cases I 
can think of are text progress meters, mentioned by Anatoly, such as :
  Working .... (1 dot printed at intervals)
and timed text like

import time
for c in 'Similated 10 cps teletype output':
    print(c,end='')
    time.sleep(.1)
print()

which works fine from IDLE and whose non-functioning when started otherwise 
would puzzle any beginner and many beyond.
