There are already lots of other questions about the print statement, but I have not found an answer to my problem:
When I do:
for idx in range(10):
print(idx, end="\r")
in the (ipython) terminal directly, it works fine and always overwrites the previous line. However, when running this in a module with PyCharm, I don't see any lines printed in the stdout.
Is this a known PyCharm issue?
Try:
for idx in range(10):
print('\r', idx, end='')
Carriage return at front, and end with '' to avoid new line '\n'. One solution to avoid the space is to use the format convention:
for idx in range(10):
print("'\r{0}".format(idx), end='')
I had the same issue. While a solution using print() has eluded me, I have found sys.stdout.write works fine. (Win10, Python 3.5.1, Pycharm 2016.3.2)
import sys
import time
def countdown(n):
for x in reversed(range(n)):
sys.stdout.write('\r' + str(x))
time.sleep(1)
countdown(60)
