Print on the same line

Printing on the same with Python is not that difficult, it did, however, take some time before I managed to find the best way to do it myself. This is a neat little trick and I tend to use it quite a lot in my programs.

import time

for i in range(10):
    print(i, end="\r", flush=True)
    time.sleep(0.5)

It looks like this.
