The only way I got a flush to work (back to a C client) was to use:

my_writer_obj = mysock.makefile(mode='w', ...)
my_writer_obj.write('my stuff')
my_writer_obj.flush()

The big advantage is that my_writer_obj defaults to text mode, so no more byte translation.

creating a reader object did not go as smoothly, but I did not need a flush on that side.
