I am trying to make a loading type screen and I have tried multiple things. It always prints on the next line.

#attempt 1
print("loading"),
print("."),
print(".."),
print("..."),
#attempt 2
import time
print("loading", end=" ")
time.sleep(1)
print(".", end=" ")
time.sleep(1)
print("..", end=" ")
time.sleep(1)
print("...",)

I expect the output to be

Loading. ——————— Loading.. ——————— Loading... ———————

But it gives me an error message saying that it does not expect the

end=" "

And regarding clearing lines, see [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3249524/print-in-one-line-dynamically). – Carcigenicate Nov 05 '19 at 17:00

What version of Python are you using? – C_Z_ Nov 05 '19 at 17:00
Can you post the error traceback – Abhishek Ranjan Nov 05 '19 at 17:01
You are using Python 2 and forgot to use `from __future__ import print_function` – chepner Nov 05 '19 at 21:13
`print("."),` is legal in Python 3, but for different reasons than in Python 2 (and just produces a tuple `(None,)` that is immediately discarded. – chepner Nov 05 '19 at 21:14
@Carcigenicate, I have fixed the formatting – Nov 07 '19 at 02:27
