Hey all!

This might be more of a python question than a vislcg3 question, but I couldn't find an answer on Google.

I'm using the following to disambiguate a custom Text object in python:

```python
            p = Popen(['vislcg3', '-g', gram_path],
                      stdin=PIPE,
                      stdout=PIPE,
                      universal_newlines=True)
            output = p.communicate(input=self.CG_str())[0]
```

...where self.CG_str() gives a cg3-style stream representation, ending with a newline ('\n').

With the current approach, I get everything except the last token and its readings. Any ideas how to get the last token to flush?

Try throwing https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/chunked/streamcmds.html#cmd-flush at it. A line of only:
<STREAMCMD:FLUSH>

Making the CG_str() end with '\n<STREAMCMD:FLUSH>\n' didn't change the result.

Tino, in the following am I using the stream command correctly? So far, every way I've tried it does not make a difference. The only way I've been able to get this to work is by adding a dummy token to the end of the stream, but that seems like a dangerous hack.
