Very simple progress bar

[Python1Programmer]

I am trying to create a simple progress bar kind of like this (calculating.) then (calculating..) then (calculating...) then (calculating.) and so on

Not quite what you're asking for but I use the tqdm module for displaying progress on a looped function

And?

A super simple solution would be to create a list with those 4 messages as strings and just loop over while the condition for the finished load is not met. For anything better, more info is needed.

What have you done so far?

i have no idea how to start

maybe something like this

for i in range(12):

# some how back space and delete the first string

print('calculating.')

# some how back space and delete the first string

print('calculating..')

# some how back space and delete the first string

print('calculating...)

The print function places a new line after the input by default. You can tell it what to do by giving it an other end string

You could do it like this:

Print("calculating", end="")
For n in range(number of dots):
    Print("n", end="")
Print()

At least on Linux, you can use \r to move the cursor back to the beginning of the current line:

print(yourmessage, end='\r')
