Not sure about problem #2, but problem #1 can probably be remedied by
flushing sys.stdout after every print statement. Something like:

print 'hello world'
sys.stdout.flush()

Or define a convenience function:

def fprint(msg):
  sys.stdout.write(msg + '\n')
  sys.stdout.flush()

and just use that instead of print.
