Let me say it more explicitly:
The original code snippet's logic is as follows:
if STREAM.isatty():
p = (self.progress_template + '\r') % params
else:
[do something to reset the new value of p]
p = (self.progress_template + '\n') % params
STREAM.write(p)
STREAM.flush()
In order to refresh the tty, the if and else must be run alternatively.
i.e., the isatty() must return 0 and 1 periodically.
I still understand how the above code will let the isatty() return 0 and
1 in turn?
