Subject: Immediately print a string on stdout without new line?

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to do something like this:

print "Processing... "

#some fancy code that takes ages, or maybe:
sleep(3)

print "done\n"


I was expecting to get the following output on my console:

Processing... [and after 3 secs:]done

However, the script first waits 3 seconds and then writes the whole line
at once. If I change the first line to

print "Processing...\n"

everything works as expected. But that's not really what I want. Is
there another way of doing this?

Thanks, Janus
