# avoid buffering output on pipes (bnc#930137)
# Basically, a "print('foo')" call is translated to a corresponding
# fwrite call that writes to the stdout stream (cf. string_print
# (Objects/stringobject.c) and builtin_print (Python/bltinmodule.c));
# If no pipe is used, stdout is a tty/refers to a terminal =>
# the stream is line buffered (see _IO_file_doallocate (libio/filedoalloc.c)).
# If a pipe is used, stdout does not refer to a terminal anymore =>
# the stream is fully buffered by default (see _IO_file_doallocate).
# The following fdopen call makes stdout line buffered again (at least on
# systems that support setvbuf - if setvbuf is not supported, the stream
# remains fully buffered (see PyFile_SetBufSize (Objects/fileobject.c))).
