It depends on your Python version.
In Python v2 you simply put a comma after your output
character to turn off the auto newline
while someProcess(): # should probably be in a separate thread...
time.sleep(1) # 1 second pause
print '.', # comma suppresses newline
If you want to suppress the spaces tyoo things
get a tad more complex and you are probably best
writing direct to sys.stdout
In Python 3 there are parameters to print()
while someProcess():
time.sleep(1)
print('.', end='', sep='') # no newline and no spaces
You shouldn't need any special escape codes.
