Hi,

I have a general query about the following snippet:

import os
Import sys
for each_dir in os.listdir("/home/tmpuser"):
    full_path = os.path.join("/home/tmpuser", each_dir)
    sys.stdout.write("\r%s" % full_path)
    sys.stdout.flush()

The snippet is a simplified example of me trying to print to the same line by 
using carriage return. This is working fine. However, the issue is that if the 
previous line was longer than the current line being printed then there are 
characters leftover from the previous print. Like so:

Print no. 1: /home/tmpuser/somedir/somefile.ext
Print no. 2:/home/tmpuser/somefile.extmefile.ext

In case of the newly printed shorter line, the characters from the previously 
printed longer line are leftover... Is there any way to clear the previous 
print? While still being able to print to the same line?


Thank you for any help.
