How to make for loop only go to next line only when it finds a \n

Question

Title ^

So I have this code:

from colorama import Fore, Back, Style

#( site kind of glitched out I guess because of all these special characters so thats why it's not in the ``` )

file_contents = " ^^ @@@@@@@@\n ^^ ^^ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@\n @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ^^\n @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@\n~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~ &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~\n~ ~~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~~ ~~ ~\n ~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~~ \n ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~~ ~ \n~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~ ~~ ~ ~~\n ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~\n"

#(this is supposed to be an ascii text art of a sunset)

for x in file_contents:
  if x == "~":
    print(Fore.RED + x)
  elif x == "&":
    print(Fore.CYAN + x)
  elif x == "@":
    print(Fore.YELLOW + x)
  elif x == "v" or x == "^":
    print(Fore.BLACK + x)

And while it does work as expected it prints every single character in a newline and if I put ,end = '' it prints everything in the same line. So how could I make it so that it only goes to a newline if it finds a \n?

(Yes, I know I could technically manually but I'm lazy and that's going to take really long)

Set end to nothing again, check for \n the same way you check for the other characters, and print a newline if you see it. — Layne Bernardo, Apr 09 '22 at 00:49

Set end='' for all the print statements you already have
Add

    elif x == "\n":
        print('')

Thanks, I tried that before and it didn't work for some reason but now it does? I don't know but anyway, I just had to add ```elif x == " ": print(" ")``` to account for the spaces and now it all works! – MrDottyDot Apr 09 '22 at 02:19
I'm glad it worked! – nova85861 Apr 09 '22 at 02:34
`else: print(x)` is probably better – Mad Physicist Apr 09 '22 at 07:41

You can use partial and path the print function: (be cautious!)

from functools import partial
print = partial(print, end='')

path -> monkeypatch. But why? – Mad Physicist Apr 09 '22 at 07:39
