Problems with sys.stout.flush()

[Joel Ross]

Thanks for all the help guys. I got it to work correctly with this

class progress:

     def __init__(self):
        self.already = 0

     def progressbar(self, number, total,  char):

        percentage = int(100 - round(number*100.0/total))
        if percentage > 0:
            xchar = char * (percentage-self.already)
            self.already = percentage
            sys.stdout.write(xchar)
            sys.stdout.flush()
            sleep(1)

Keeping track of the characters that had already been printed solved my 
main problem thanks Dave and everyone else for helping me out with this 
issue. Now I can move onto next one.
