Is it always the case that the output file of STDOUT/ print on a python script or any other script will appear empty when opened until the scripts completed execution?
If for instance, I am running a program, that keeps printing a value at every iteration and writes it to an output file. Now, this program runs for a long time and I want to check the progress by looking into the output file. But on opening, it appears empty.
So will I be able to look at the output in the file only on completion of execution? If so why is that?
