Hmm. Yes and no; you seem to be correct in that the problem is on the libc
level, but Python definitely does something special.
By the way, this is glibc 2.26.
I tried this C program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
usleep(5 * 1000 * 1000);
fwrite("A", 1, 1, stdout);
perror("A");
fwrite("\n", 1, 1, stdout);
perror("newline 1");
fwrite("B\nC", 3, 1, stdout);
perror("BC");
fwrite("\n", 1, 1, stdout);
perror("newline 2");
fwrite("D", 1, 1, stdout);
perror("D");
fwrite("\n", 1, 1, stdout);
perror("newline 3");
return 0;
}
Which behaves similarly when there's a newline in the middle of the string, in
that fwrite() returns with an error after writing the newline:
write(3, "A: Success\n", 11) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(1, "A\n", 2) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(3, "newline 1: Input/output error\n", 30) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(1, "B\n", 2) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(3, "BC: Input/output error\n", 23) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(1, "\n", 1) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(3, "newline 2: Input/output error\n", 30) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(3, "D: Input/output error\n", 22) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(1, "D\n", 2) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(3, "newline 3: Input/output error\n", 30) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
However, as can be seen from the result of the perror() calls, every fwrite()
after the first buffer flush (which happens on newlines, since stdout to a
terminal is line buffered) fails with EIO. This should mean that, at the
latest, the second Python print() call should fail. But it doesn't:
#!/bin/env python2.7
import time
time.sleep(5)
print('A')
print('E')
print('B\nC')
print('D')
write(1, "A\n", 2) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(1, "E\n", 2) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(1, "B\n", 2) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
write(2, "Traceback (most recent call last):\n", 35) = -1 EIO (Input/output
error)
write(2, " File \"./fatal.py\", line 6, in <module>\n", 41) = -1 EIO
(Input/output error)
So Python does make a difference between the implicit newline added to the end
of each print() and a newline in the middle of the user-supplied string.
