[Pythonmac-SIG] in emacs calling python from a shell buffer doesn't make input/output.

[Jack Jansen]

I think I'd ask this on a general Python forum. Normally, programs are
line-buffered only when stdout is a terminal, and with emacs as the 
front-end
it's going to be a pipe.

Either emacs normally uses some magic like "python -u" to force Python 
to use
unbuffered output or it creates a pseudoterminal in stead of a pipe to 
do the
I/O to the subprocess, and somehow this isn't working for you.
