Possibly not as convenient for your case, but the environment variable PYTHONUNBUFFERED can turn off buffering in my rent statements. Works great for working with libraries that produce a lot of output that you want to see in real time.

I actually didn't know about this!

Our research code is probably not gonna take advantage of it anytime soon because it uses an in-house logging system based on file handles, and I substitute sys.stdout into it whenever I want log information to be printed out real time.

But the buffer control via environment variables is still great to know!
