Python在OSX终端中按字符打印字符

Question

I'm trying to have Python copy the contents of a .txt file into the bash terminal on OS X (10.10), but the line does not print until every single character of the line has been printed to the line. Is there any way to have Python print each line character-by-character, instead of line-by-line? My code is designed to wait between characters, but each line simply takes a long time to print:

while True:
    character = text_file.read(1)
    if not character: break
    else:
        sys.stdout.write(character)
        time.sleep(0.050)

When I run this code in IDLE, the characters print one at a time. In Terminal, lines take several seconds to print, and each line prints all at once. Is there any way to reproduce the behavior I'm seeing in IDLE in Terminal?

Answer 1

if you want remove new line at the end of the line.

you can simply

print character,

will remove the new line(\\n).

Answer 2

Add sys.stdout.flush() after sys.stdout.write(character)

The reason should be that the output of stdout is buffered.
