Console only updates when has focus

Hi,

If I have a PythonAnywhere program monitoring a log file then it only 'prints' to the screen when it (or another PythonAnywhere console window) has focus.

Is there any way around this limitation?

Thanks

Hm, we've not noticed that to be the case... Could it be something specific about your setup?

Good question: the internet connection here is very ropey :-)

Hm. It could be that the auto-reconnect doesn't work in non-focused windows if your internet connection drops... will investigate...
