In both cases, 'hellopython' is printed, only the behavior of the
cursor changes. The `\r` means “move cursor to the start of the line”
in some places, including Terminal/Command Prompt. But not everyone
processes the backspace character — IDLE ignores it, as do many other
text editors.

Another important thing to note about \r is this:

>>> print("python\rhi")
hithon

(PS. it’s better to use a stable version, especially when you’re
learning. PPS. file attachments do not work on this list.)
