Replace console output in python
<p>I'm wondering how I could create one of those nifty console counters in Python as in certain C/C++-programs.</p>

<p>I've got a loop doing things and the current output is along the lines of:</p>

<pre><code>Doing thing 0
Doing thing 1
Doing thing 2
...
</code></pre>

<p>what would be neater would be to just have the last line update;</p>

<pre><code>X things done.
</code></pre>

<p>I've seen this in a number of console programs and am wondering if/how I'd do this in Python.</p>
