Sounds to me like whatever you're printing to doesn't do what you expect when it encounters a carriage return (\r). Is your program running in a terminal? Both the windows cmd.exe shell and bash under linux seem to do the right thing when encountering a '\r'. On the other hand, running the same code in IDLE doesn't work right, presumably because the text window doesn't really know what to do with a bare carriage return. -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
