Typing letters slowly using sys

[mattgraves7]

I am using sys to give the effect that I am typing letters slowly. Basically what I want to have happen is have it show "Loading......" with the word loading appearing instantly and then the periods appearing slowly, as most loading screens do.
This is what I have.

dots = ('............')
for x in dots:
sys.stdout.write(x)
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(0.2)

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the dots to appear on the same line as "Loading". Every way that I have attempted, the word "Loading" appears and then the dots appear on the next line.

dots = ('............')
for x in dots:
sys.stdout.write(x)
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(0.2)

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the dots to appear on
the same line as "Loading". Every way that I have attempted, the word
"Loading" appears and then the dots appear on the next line.

How are you printing the "Loading" text? (It would have helped a lot to
show us that code.)

 

[Grant Edwards]

dots = ('............')
for x in dots:
sys.stdout.write(x)
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(0.2)

That works just fine for me using Python 2.4, 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2.

If you're printing in 2.x, you can do:

print "Loading",

in 3.x,

print("Loading", end='')

-m

Sorry guys, I may have not been clear. The part I pasted does work, but I cannot figure out how to get that to print after the word "Loading". So it will instantly print "Loading", and then the "..........." will appear slowly

Have you tried:

sys.stdout.write('Loading')
sys.stdout.flush()
