python: print using carriage return and comma not working
carriage-return, newline, python
Solution
In the first case, some systems will treat `\r` as a newline. In the second case, you didn't `flush` the line. Try this:
sys.stdout.write('{0} imported\r'.format(tot))
sys.stdout.flush()
Flushing the line isn't necessary on all systems either, as Levon reminds me -- but it's generally a good idea when using `\r` this way.
Problem
I need to print over one line in a loop (Python 3.x). Looking around on SO already, I put this line in my code: ``` print('{0} imported\r'.format(tot),) ``` However, it still prints multiple lines when looped through. I have also tried ``` sys.stdout.write('{0} imported\r'.format(tot)) ``` but this doesn't print anything to the console... Anyone know what's going on with this?
