New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>: In issue13597, Philip Jenvey points out:
“I'm surprised to hear that stderr is line buffered by default. Historically stderr is never buffered (at least on POSIX) and for good reason: errors should be seen immediately” Recent changes to the IO stack should allow stderr to be opened in fully unbuffered mode (and open(..., 'w', buffering=0) can be allowed too). Or at least it could be always line-buffered, even when redirected to a file. ---------- components: IO, Interpreter Core, Library (Lib) messages: 149447 nosy: benjamin.peterson, gvanrossum, pitrou, pjenvey, stutzbach priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: sys.stderr should be unbuffered (or always line-buffered) type: behavior versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13601> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
