inkey() blocks previous print if it hasn't got a newline

[Rien Boydens]

When Terminal.inkey() is called after a print statement without newline, that print statement won't show up until after the key has been pressed.
For example:

print('>>>', end='')
term.inkey()

This will print '>>>' only after enter has been pressed. When '\n' is in the print statement like:

print('\n>>>', end='')
term.inkey()

This will first print '>>>' before getting the inkey().
I'm currently using a temporary fix by calling:

print('\n' + term.move_up(1) + '>>>', end='')
term.inkey()

Use argument, flush=True, to the function call to print without a newline

From https://linux.die.net/man/3/stderr

The stream stderr is unbuffered. The stream stdout is line-buffered when it points to a terminal. Partial lines will not appear until fflush(3) or exit(3) is called,

I often make a “partial function” for this purpose,
