Answer 1

This is happening because python uses a buffer to write to stdout. in order to get the desired effect, you must put sys.stdout.flush() at the end of your code...

import time, sys

lorem = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit."

for x in lorem:
    print(x, end="")
    time.sleep(0.03)
    sys.stdout.flush()

This will print out each character individually at the rate of 1 character per 0.03 seconds
