Question

I am a noob when it comes to python. I have a python script which gives me output like this:

[last] ZVZX-W3vo9I: Downloading video webpage [last] ZVZX-W3vo9I: Extracting video information [download] Destination: myvideo.flv [download]   9.9% of 10.09M at    3.30M/s ETA 00:02 

The last line keeps getting updated with new values of progress. I want to change this. Instead of updating I want a new line to be printed each time. How can i do this? I think the part concerned is this bit:

def report_progress(self, percent_str, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str):     '''Report download progress.'''     self.to_stdout(u'\r[download] %s of %s at %s ETA %s' %         (percent_str, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str), skip_eol=True) 

If more code needs to be seen please let me know so that I can show you what is needed to solve this.

Thank you very much for any help.

Answer 1

If I understand your request properly, you should be able to change that function to this:

def report_progress(self, percent_str, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str):     '''Report download progress.'''     print u'[download] %s of %s at %s ETA %s' % (percent_str, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str) 

That will print the output on a new line each time.
