Linux Terminal executing Python Script differently to Idle

So I wrote a program to print songs like an old dot matrix printer, character by character. When I run the thing in Idle it does it and works fine, but when I call the program from the Linux Terminal the text is printed line by line, instead of character by character, and it really takes away from the whole effect and point of the program. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it just how the Terminal will work with it. Thanks

#!/usr/bin/python3
import time

print ("<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Portal Song Printer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>")
ans = input("Still Alive(1) or Want You Gone(2):n")
if ans == "1":
    song = """This was a triumphnI'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESSnIt's hard

for c in song:
    print(c, end="")
    time.sleep(.05)

Answer

The terminal caches characters by line. You need to flush:

import sys
for c in song:
    print(c, end="")
    sys.stdout.flush()
    time.sleep(.05)
