vfxrepo.copy() is called. the copy() function (as well as the rmdirs()
function) are very long file-system calls that take up to 5 minutes. I
should see a print statement before these are executed, but I do not.
Instead it shows up *after* the last 2 lines of code have completed. Is
there something broken about this?

My guess is that the output is getting buffered and the buffer doesn't
get flushed until sometime after the function executes.

Are you calling this function from inside, say, doctests-watched
comments.
