Re: Why does bufsize=1 not work in subprocess.Popen ?

I read in the docs that "bufsize=1" causes line buffering. (for
subprocess.Popen)

The following tiny program launches an executable file and then receives
its output. That works, but I want to
receive each line as it is ouput, not all of the lines at termination,
which is what is happening.

From the Python side you can only control Python's input buffer but not
the output buffer of the external program you are starting. I guess that
programs buffers its output.
