Python - how can I enable to output stream to go 1 line up (using the sys.stdout.write)?

Question

Backspace ("\b") would go only till beginning of line.
sys.stdout.write("\033[A","\033[F") not working neither. Pycharm editor doesn't seem to recognize the part of "[A" and "[F" as part of the escape character of "\033" so I suspect this could hint on part of the problem

Answer 1

# Here's the working code:
from time import sleep

line_up = "\033[A"

for i in range(101):
print(f"line 1: {i}")

if i == 100:
break
print(f"line 2: {i}", end=line_up)
print("", end="\r")
sleep(0.1)

Ankush Bhagat Works great. Thanks! 👍🏽 Truly appreciated 🙏🏽

Answer 3

"\033[A"  will move the cursor up one line. Use print

Answer 4

Not working. Any chance for example code?

Answer 5

It works just fine. Post your code

Answer 6

import time
import sys

For i in range(20):
time.sleep(0.1)
print("\033[A" * 3)
print(f"{i} : bbb{i}eee")
print("\033[A" * 3)

Answer 7

You can't just go up 3 lines if you only go down 2. What are you trying to do exactly?

print()
print("hello", end="\033[A")
print("hi")

# output
hi
hello

Answer 8

I know. But I assumed it has a similar behavior to backspace, so if it gets the cursor to the top most part if the console, it takes no further effect, even if keep using it, and the cursor just stays at the top most part.

Answer 9

Either way, gives me a different output on my system :

hellohi

Read somewhere it could have something to do with the os

Answer 10

It may be, it works on my mobile through Pydroid and Termux.
