It does, but insufficiently. If slurp.py is run under Py3, it works
fine; or take Naoki's suggestion (although without the parens):

import sys
import time

for line in iter(sys.stdin.readline, ''):
        print "Time of input:", time.ctime(), line
        sys.stdin.flush()
        sys.stdout.flush()

Then it works.
