I see you've reverted to the basic code and thus removed the while loop
I had added.
I guess it's OK so long as we know we'll only be waiting for one line of
output at a time.  Also the loop was already missing before anyway.

I installed a slightly different patch (halfway between yours and mine).
Can you try it?

Your code special-cased the case when the emacs_out line is cut, but what is
really happenning is that we may receive Python's output in chunks of
arbitrary sizes: from one-byte at a time to several lines at a time
(depending on many different factors), so the problem exists for all kinds
of output.
