So the keyword argument means "do or don't call flush() method of the file." That's not clear from its name since the flushing behavior can depend on the underlying stream type. forceflush would be closer to the actual meaning of the param. +0 for being able to write print("whatever", forceflush=True) instead of having to do: import sys # somewhere in the file print("whatever") sys.stdout.flush() Given that 'print' is a function in Python 3, it's easy to redefine it to flush. I've done it on occasion.
