It seems to work fine in Win2k command shell; try this:
>>> import time >>> time.sleep(1) >>> for i in range(9): ... print 'i is', i, '\r', ... time.sleep(1)
I get all the output on one line.

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.
