By default, print in Python is buffered. When running Python in a batch job in SLURM you may see output less often than you would when running interactively. This is because the output is being buffered - the print statements are collected until there is a large amount to print, then the messages are all printed at once. For debugging or checking that a Python script is producing the correct output, you may want to switch off buffering.
For a single python script you can use the -u option, e.g.
python -u my_script.py
The -u stands for "unbuffered". You can use the environment variable PYTHONUNBUFFERED to set unbuffered I/O for your whole batch script.
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -n 1
export PYTHONUNBUFFERED=TRUE
python my_script.py
There is some performance penalty for having unbuffered print statements, so you may want to reduce the number of print statements, or run buffered for production runs.
