Is there a way to get (python) script output while working using org-mode

Question

I am writing small code fragments inside org-mode files. These bits of code are slow (copying files from remote computers), and I want to see how copying happens (sometimes the connection to the remote computer fails, and I want to know). To do this, I want to print the serial number of the currently available file.

The Org-mode code block has two problems:

• It places a printed message or return variable in the block part of the results.
• He does this only after the code completes.

Is there a way to get printed output for a shared live variable?

Answer 1

Reopening sys.stdout so that it is reset should help.

See How to clear Python print output? and this blog post:
