I would like to make several statements that give standard output without seeing newlines in between statements.

Specifically, suppose I have:

for item in range(1,100):
    print item

The result is:

1
2
3
4
.
.
.

How get this to instead look like:

1 2 3 4 5 ...

Even better, is it possible to print the single number over the last number, so only one number is on the screen at a time?

Change print item to:

  • print item, in Python 2.7
  • print(item, end=" ") in Python 3

If you want to print the data dynamically use following syntax:

  • print(item, sep=' ', end='', flush=True) in Python 3
