[New-bugs-announce] [issue30404] Make stdout and stderr truly unbuffered when run with the -u option

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

In Python 2 when run the interpreter with the -u option the stdout and stderr streams are unbuffered. In Python 3 they become just line-buffered. This is because initially there was no way to create unbuffered text streams. But since Python 3.3 TextIOWrapper supports unbuffered output binary stream and accepts the write_through argument which switch off its own buffering.

Proposed patch makes the stdout and stderr streams truly unbuffered when run with the -u option.
