multiple prints on the same line in Python

Question

I want to run a script, which basically shows an output like this:

Installing XXX...               [DONE]

Currently, I print Installi

Answer 1

Here a 2.7-compatible version derived from the 3.0 version by @Vadim-Zin4uk:

Python 2

import time

for i in range(101):                        # for 0 to 100
    s = str(i) + '%'                        # string for output
    print '{0}\r'.format(s),                # just print and flush

    time.sleep(0.2)

For that matter, the 3.0 solution provided looks a little bloated. For example, the backspace method doesn't make use of the integer argument and could probably be done away with altogether.

Python 3

import time

for i in range(101):                        # for 0 to 100
    s = str(i) + '%'                        # string for output
    print('{0}\r'.format(s), end='')        # just print and flush

    time.sleep(0.2)                         # sleep for 200ms

Both have been tested and work.
