I'm actually running something like : r, w, e = popen2.popen3('python -
u slave.py')
to try and force unbuffered. slave.py is basically outputting by
using print.
I guess it might still be buffering?
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts... I may have to take an entirely
difference approach. I was hoping not to have to touch the code base
represented by slave.py.
