selftests: net: prevent Python from buffering the output

Make sure Python doesn't buffer the output, otherwise for some
tests we may see false positive timeouts in NIPA. NIPA thinks that
a machine has hung if the test doesn't print anything for 3min.
This is also nice to heave for running the tests manually,
especially in vng.
