[Tutor] Console output

[Oliver Maunder]

Does anyone know how I can update a line of console output without creating
a new line? I'm not explaning this too well, so here's an example.

When you download a file with wget, the console display looks like this:

14% [=======> ] 344,192 16.28K/s ETA 02:19

All the figures and the progress bar get continously updated. The only way I
know of sending output to the console is to use print or sys.stdout.write(),
but that would give me:
14% [=======> ] 344,192 16.28K/s ETA 02:19
18% [=========> ] 344,192 16.28K/s ETA 02:19
20% [============> ] 344,192 16.28K/s ETA 02:19

...and that's really not what I'm after!

Any help and ideas would be appreciated

Olly
