For your next trick, write a "spinner" using |/-\ in succession :-)

Thanks for all of the help. This is what ended up working:
import time
import sys
s = '.'
sys.stdout.write( 'working' )
while True:
sys.stdout.write( s )
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(0.5)

Bah. The trailing command may prevent the newline, but it appends a
space whether you want it or not.[1] Use sys.stdout.write('.') instead.
import sys
print "wussy nanny state, tax 'n spend my spaces, liberal comma:"
for i in range(1, 10):
print '.',
print
print "manly neo-con I know what's Right so keep your government out of
my strings! print:"
for i in range(1, 10):
sys.stdout.write('.')
[1] Which has to be _the_ most annoying feature of Python. *grrr*

Thanks for the input Martin, but I already tried that. If you put a
comma on that line it successfully prints the first '.' on the same
line, but the rest below. Like:
working .
.
.
.
I want:
working..
I have tried the comma thing on the "print s" line ("print s,"), but
then it doesn't print anything at all...

see my added comment in the code above...
Though this will produce spaces between the dots:
waiting . . . . . .
To eliminate the spaces, you need to write to a file-stream such
as sys.stdout:
from sys import stdout
stdout.write('working')
while True:
stdout.write('.')
# might need something like stdout.flush() here
time.sleep(1)
stdout.write('\n')

printing dots in simple program while waiting
Ok, so this should be a really simple thing to do, but I haven't been able to get it on the first few tries and couldn't find anything after searching a bit. what i want to do is print a 'waiting' statement while a script is working-- the multithreading aspect isn't an issue, the printing on the same line is. i want to print something like: (1sec) working... (2sec) working (3sec) working. where the 'working' line isn't being printed each second, but the dots are being added with time. something like: import time s = '.' print 'working' while True: print s time.sleep(1) however, this doesn't work since it prints: working . . . any suggestions? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
