How to print some information on the same line without introducing a new line

Answer 1

import sys, time

for i in xrange(0, 101, 10):
  print '\r>> You have finished %d%%' % i,
  sys.stdout.flush()
  time.sleep(2)
print

The \r is the carriage return. You need the comma at the end of the print statement to avoid automatic newline. Finally sys.stdout.flush() is needed to flush the buffer out to stdout.

For Python 3, you can use:

print("\r>> You have finished {}%".format(i), end='')
