Hi,
I've got a program here that prints out a percentage of it's
completion. Currently with my implimentation it prints like this:
0%
1%
2%
3%
4%
etc taking up lots and lots of lines of output... So, how can I make it
write the percentage on the same line eg.
while working:
print percent
Use the carriage return character to overwrite the line (you'll need
to forego `print`):
from sys import stdout
while working:
stdout.write('\r'+percent)
Note that you'll need to ensure that `percent` has constant length
throughout the loop.
or "erase" the previous character first with whitespace
stdout.write('\r \r%s%%' % percent).
curse might be more reliable for this kind of thing (though it is
definitely an overkill)
Note: \r doesn't work on IDLE
