Answer 1

Using @Mark-Rushakoff answer, I worked out a simpler approach, no need to call the sys library. It works with Python 3. Tested in Windows:

from time import sleep
for i in range(21):
    # the exact output you're looking for:
    print ("\r[%-20s] %d%%" % ('='*i, 5*i), end='')
    sleep(0.25)
