Printing a string with a little delay between the chars

Question

I want a text to be displayed as if it is just being typed. So I need a little delay after every letter.

I tried to do it this way:

import time

text         


        

Answer 1

Your example prints them all on separate lines I think (at least on windows). You can use printing to sys.stdout to get around this.

import time, sys
for character in text:
    sys.stdout.write(character)
    time.sleep(0.2)
