Progress count in terminal (Mac OS X)

[Tommy Grav]

This certainly does work when running the interpreter interactively,
but when inserted into a script it seems to buffer the print statement
and not write it out to the terminal. How can I force the print  
statement
to not buffer the output?

Cheers
