Just the right place. I would suggest a more informative title in the
future though. 'Problem with print and sleep.', for instance.
I'm new to Python, learning Python3 from the O'rielly "Learning
Python" book. Reading
about operator overloading, specifically __getitem__. I put together
a small bit of code to
do some experimenting and threw in a timer so i can see it do its
thing.
Good idea. Welcome to Python.
For some reason
the time.sleep(x) function doesnt work when my print function includes
"end=''".
I cut your code, pasted it into IDLE edit window, and made two minor
modifications. For me (3.1, winxp) it works perfectly either way --
chars print at 1 sec intervals either vertically or horizonatally. So I
am not sure what you are claiming.
Thanks in advance for any help.
---code---
class TestClass():
def __init__(self):
self.data = "I was far from home and the spell of the eastern
sea was upon me."
I shortened string
def __getitem__(self,i):
return self.data[i]
import time
if __name__ == "__main__":
me = TestClass()
for x in me:
print(x,end='') #if i remove the 'end=''' it performs as i'd
expect
time.sleep(int(2))
int(2) == 2, so delete irrelevant call, and 1 sec is enough
