This is what I ended up using:
import time
import sys
import os
def countd():
seconds = 59
minutes = 4
five_minutes = 0
os.system('clear')
os.system('setterm -cursor off')
while five_minutes != 300:
sys.stdout.write("\r%d:%02.f\t" % (minutes, seconds))
s

Try putting the carriage return at the start of the line. You print the
line then reset

I made a timer that counts down from five minutes. This code runs fine but
I a seeing a cursor blinking on the first number as the code is running.
How do I avoid this?
I am using gnome-terminal and Python 2.6.6.
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
import sys
import os
def countd():
seconds = 5
