Unbuffered stdout in python (as in python -u) from within the program [duplicate]

by

The best I could come up with:

>>> import os
>>> import sys
>>> unbuffered = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0)
>>> unbuffered.write('test')
test>>> 
>>> sys.stdout = unbuffered
>>> print 'test'
test

Tested on GNU/Linux. It seems it should work on Windows too. If I knew how to reopen sys.stdout, it would be much easier:

sys.stdout = open('???', 'w', 0)

[Edit]

Note that it would be probably better to close sys.stdout before overwriting it.
