This is not a tkinter program so its completely irrelevant to your stated aim. In tkinter how print works is of no importance. You will not be using print in a tkinter program you will simply be changing the text in a widget.> This seems to work but it is not printing in the same place: > > #!/usr/bin/python > #Python 2.6.6 > > import time > > for t in range(5): > digits = time.strftime('%H:%M:%S') > print "\r", digits > time.sleep(0.1) That's because you are using \r which is platform dependant (and even terminal dependant on *nix) . You don't say which platform you are using. Using \b (backspace) may be more successful. >>> print ("test","\b\b\b\b\b\b","Foo") Foo But, as I say, that won't be very useful in tkinter since you won't be using print().
Oops, you also need to suppress the newline as Peter Otten mentioned! You can do that in Python v2 by adding a training comma or in v3 you can specify no newline as a parameter. But again, all irrelevent for tkinter. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
