List, Forgive me if I don't describe this well, I'm new to it: Assume I'm working in a command shell on a terminal. Something like tcsh on xterm, for example. I have a program which does *something*. Let's say it counts down from 10. How do I print a value, and then erase that value, replacing it with another value? Say I had something like '10' that appears, then wait a second, then the 10 is replaced by '9'... '8'.. and so forth. The point is, I don't want to print to a new line, nor do I want the new number to appear next to the previous number... I just want to change it in place. (If that makes any sense?) Think of console based progress counters in programs like fetch or wget, or lame. How do you do this in Python? -Modulok- _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
I've never used it before, but I think the curses module does this.
