The only way on Windows is to open a file yourself in text 
mode with buffer size 0, and either write to it directly, or 
set sys.stdout to it.

-u     : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr (also
PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x)

Hmmm... never noticed the binary bit before. 
Is there any way to get unbuffered output without it being
binary?

Why do you call this a bug?  -u forces stdin into binary mode, 
and the Python grammar does not allow \r\n line endings in 
program text (it never has, BTW).  Program text has to come 
from a file opened in text mode on Windows, and what you're 
seeing here is the same as what you'd see if you did

f = open('some_python_program.py', 'rb')
exec f.read()

on Windows.
