On Python 3.3 under Windows and GNU/Linux, sys.stdout.write prints the length of string along with the string itself:

>> sys.stdout.write("a_string")

a_string8

Note the '8' at the end of 'a_string'.

Is it expected behavior?

Although I do not know the reason for change, it seems that this is expected behavior as of Python 3.0 in interactive shell. Closing the record as 'invalid'.

sys.stdout.write returns the length of the string it printed.
try these:

x = sys.stdout.write("abc")
print x

or from console
python -c 'import sys ; sys.stdout.write("abc")'
