[SOLVED] nohup: trailing "&" prevents writing to output file?

Issue

Version 1 fails to write to my output.txt file:

nohup python test.py &> output.txt &

But Version 2 works:

nohup python test.py &> output.txt

I need the trailing & because I want to do other tasks on the command line!

Solution

Solved: ... python -u ... was the answer. Seems this additional option prevents Python output buffering.
