[Pydev-code] asynchonous output on console

[Jonah G. <jo...@ki...>]

Hello,

I am using PyDev and I would like to implement an improvement to the
PyDev console related to the asynchonous behaviour.

In particular I want to remove this limitation (from
http://pydev.org/manual_adv_interactive_console.html)

Limitation: Output is not asynchonous (stdout and stderr are only
shown after a new command is sent to the console)

A simplified example of what I want to work is:
for i in range(10): print 'You can see this as it runs', i; time.sleep(0.5)

I had a look through the bug lists and email lists and other than a
couple of places re-stating that this is a limitation, I couldn't find
record of why it was a limitation, or what could be done about it.

Before I get too buried in this code, I thought I would ask what the
issues are. Please feel free to point me at a bug if I have missed it.

Thank you,
Jonah
