This is with Win98/BeOpen Python 2.0/Cygwin 1.3.5/rxvt-2.7.2. The scripts print some messages to stdout but these gets buffered and appear only when the app exits (it runs for a while). If I add calls to flush stdout, then the messages appear as they are printed. If I run the Python interpreter itself, I get no output at all, the shell just hangs, I get the hourglass icon and I can eventually break out with Ctrl-C's. Things work fine with bash in a DOS box. Makes me think that something is wrong with rxvt's handling of stdout/stderr. But it seems to work with some other console apps (like sftp).
