looks fine to me.  maybe something else
is wrong?

anyway, you could try running the inter-
preter with the -u option:

$ python -?
Unknown option: -?
usage: python [option] ... [-c cmd | file | -] [arg] ...
Options and arguments (and corresponding environment variables):
...
-u     : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr (also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x)
...
