print without newline

[Shubhangi s]

Hi,
I have facing an issue with python while printing a characher without new line.
I want to print a "." to show progress of a search operation.

Simple code to demonstrate the problem is

import time
for i in range(10):
    print(".",end="")
    time.sleep(10)

I am expecting to see a "." after every sleep/for every iteration. However I can see it only when the loop ends or i kill the run.

Output :

c:\Python30>pyt hon.exe c:\Users\ss001\ Desktop\PythonS cript\try.py
..Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Users\ss001 \Desktop\Python Script\try.py", line 4, in <module>
time.sleep(10)
KeyboardInterru pt

Instead of using print, write to sys.stdout and flush the buffer each iteration.

import sys, time

for i in range(25):
    sys.stdout.write(".")
    sys.stdout.flush()
    time.sleep(.1)
print
