title: Remove and Replace Printed items
body: <p>I was wondering if it was possible to remove items you have printed in Python - not from the Python GUI, but from the command prompt.
  e.g.</p>
  <pre><code>a = 0  
  for x in range (0,3):  
      a = a + 1  
      b = (&quot;Loading&quot; + &quot;.&quot; * a)
  print (a)
  </code></pre>
  <p>so it prints</p>
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt;Loading   
  &gt;&gt;&gt;Loading. 
  &gt;&gt;&gt;Loading.. 
  &gt;&gt;&gt;Loading...
  </code></pre>
  <p>But, my problem is I want this all on one line, and for it it remove it self when something else comes along. So instead of printing <code>&quot;Loading&quot;, &quot;Loading.&quot;, &quot;Loading...</code> I want it to print <code>&quot;Loading.&quot;</code>, then it removes what is on the line and replaces it with <code>&quot;Loading..&quot;</code> and then removes <code>&quot;Loading..&quot;</code> and replaces it (on the same line) with <code>&quot;Loading...&quot;</code>. It's kind of hard to describe.</p>
  <p>p.s I have tried to use the Backspace character but it doesn't seem to work (<code>&quot;\b&quot;</code>)</p>
