In Python, why won't something print without a newline?

Question

import time
import sys
sys.stdout.write(\"1\")
time.sleep(5)
print(\"2\")

will print \"12\" after 5 seconds

import time
import sys
         


        

Answer 1

Consider that when you type a command into a computer, it doesn't know you're finished until you press ENTER

Similarly, the newline tells Python you've finished that line.
