Oh, by the way: TextIOWrapper doesn't support unbuffered mode. Only
fully buffered and line buffered modes. So print("Test", end='') doesn't
display immediatly Test, even with "python -u".

python -u is only useful if the output is redirected to a pipe/a file,
if you would like a line buffering (instead of a full buffering).
