Print \r correctly in console

Question

When I write a script that updates a printed line, for example like this:

for i in range(101):
    print(str(i) + \"% \\r\", end=\"\")

and run

Answer 1

This is because 'print' always generates a new line whenever you use \r or not, try sys.stdout instead:

import time, sys

for i in range(101):
    sys.stdout.write(str(i) + "% \r")
    sys.stdout.flush()
    time.sleep(.3)
