PyCharm output error messages interspersed with console output. How to fix this?

Question

I'm running PyCharm Community Edition 4.0.4

Does anyone know why the error messages don't display after the console output?

Thanks

C:\Python27\python.exe "F:/Google Drive/code/python_scripts/leetcode/lc_127_word_ladder.py" Traceback (most recent call last): START   File "F:/Google Drive/code/python_scripts/leetcode/lc_127_word_ladder.py", line 68, in <module>      print sol.ladderLength('talk', 'tail', set) Graph:   File "F:/Google Drive/code/python_scripts/leetcode/lc_127_word_ladder.py", line 54, in ladderLength hall ['fall']     for item in graph[node[0]]: fall ['hall'] KeyError: 'talk' End Graph:  Visited =  {'talk': 0}   Node =  ['talk', 0] Queue Before =  deque([])  Process finished with exit code 1 

If you'll notice, print statements such as START, Graph:, hall ['fall'], up to Queue Before = deque([]) all happen within the functioning part of my code. The Error messages should appear after all this.

Answer 1

This is caused by PyCharm mixing print statements from stdout and stderr. There's a fix if you add the following line to your idea.properties file:

output.reader.blocking.mode=true 

Get to idea.properties via Help | Edit Custom Properties.

Answer 2

might just be an issue with the stdout.

a workaround would be to use sys.flush.stdout() after your print statements.

import sys  do_something() print("Your print statement") sys.stdout.flush()
