I don't think that's what he wants. I think he wants to *overwrite* what's in the shell with new output.
For example.


Python 2.4 (#Stuff)
...

Percent complete: 50


becomes...

Python2.4(#Stuff)
...

Percent complete: 51

so that the whole line is overwritten. In my experience, this is not possible and if anyone can show me how to do it,
I would be grateful.

Print forces a newline. Try sys.stdout.write instead.

You can also use the following syntax:

>>> print "Percent completed:", str(percent), "\r",

The trailing comma is NOT a typo, it is intentional. It prevents print from appending a newline.
