printing unfinished line

[Doug Stanfield]

You need to use flush.  This is an example where I was displaying an
incrementing counter on a text display to show progress:

import sys
Found,notFound = 0,0
print "\n"
for device in devices:
    # Do something, like searching in a text file
    print "\r",
    print "Device %s,  Found: %s, Not Found: %s, Total: %s." \
              % (device,Found,notFound,(Found + notFound)),
    sys.stdout.flush()
print "\nDone!"
