Thanks all for your support, I am a data storage admin by profession, starting to learn python as a hobby. I was just curious to learn this task, since this task is usually tricky in command prompt. BTW i tried the code above, but i encountered a syntax error. print(u"\u001b[{}A".format(n), flush=True, end="") ^ SyntaxError :invalid syntax I m trying this in a centos el7 bash terminal. If i try running as print(u"\u001b[{}A".format(n)) It works but the right function does not move the cursor right. is it possible to achieve the same using sys.stdout.write.
