It is not the first time I try to do a cheap progress bar. It's only to show there's some activity going on, but not polluting too much the output terminal screen.
I always re-try this simple:
print(".",end="")
I wonder why it only output at the end ? I mean, it will only output at the end of my script, or when another operation will output to screen, after the long long loop is finished. Is there a way to make it output to screen any time print is called ?
