Here's why: when you write "char = char * percentage", you are setting
char to a string, so on the next iteration char is the string you
printed last time. Thus char grows factorially with iterations. Not
good.
Instead, change char to some other name so you don't ever overwrite
it; char should always be just one character.
bar = char * percentage
self.f.write(bar)
