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?
Try putting the carriage return at the start of the line. You print the
line then reset the cursor to the beginning. You want to reset the
cursor then print leaving the cursor at the end of the line(I assume?)
If you want to get rid of the cursor entirely then I think you might be
able to do it via a set tty command or similar - but why would you?!
And if you do, don't forget to reset it after you finish!
while five_minutes != 300:
sys.stdout.write("%d:%02.f\r" % (minutes, seconds))
sys.stdout.write("\r%d:%02.f" % (minutes, seconds))
That might do it for you.
