Answer 1

Based on this answer, but without the terminal controller:

import time
import sys
for i in range(100):
    sys.stdout.write("Downloading ... %s%%\r" % (i))
    sys.stdout.flush()
    time.sleep(1)

Tested on GNOME terminal (Linux) and Windows console.

Tip: Don't run this example in IDLE editor.
