I suppose you need to fill the OS-level cache:

$ cat somescript.py 
import sys

for i in range(int(sys.argv[1])):
    sys.stdout.write('line %d\n' % i)
$ python somescript.py 20 | head -n5
line 0
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
$ python somescript.py 200 | head -n5
line 0
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
$ python somescript.py 2000 | head -n5
line 0
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "somescript.py", line 4, in <module>
    sys.stdout.write('line %d\n' % i)
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

During my experiments I even got

close failed in file object destructor:
sys.excepthook is missing
lost sys.stderr

occasionally.
