In python 2.x, sys.stdin.flush() is more or less equivalent to C fflush(stdin). The behavior of fflush() on streams that are open for reading only is undefined. [1] Python 3.x io does not use C stdio library and therefore it is not surprising that the behavior is different. [1] http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/fflush.html
