countdown timer python console

#1 · 4 January 2024, 14:14

Hello, when I print the following countdown timer in the Python console, it writes to a new line every second, despite the fact that I have formatted the print statement with \r. Is it intentional that no line should be overwritten in the Python console or is it something else? It is the countdown timer for my spindle warm-up.

^{#Definition countdown timer}
^{def countdown(minutes):}
^{seconds = minutes * 60}
^{while seconds > 0:}
^{mins, secs = divmod(seconds, 60)}
^{timer = '{:02d}:{:02d}'.format(mins, secs)}
^{print(timer, end="\r")}
^{time.sleep(1)}
^{seconds -= 1}

I'm not sure of anything but I don't think you can delete text in a "debug" window

the option would be to open a window for your timer

add this line in you code

Hello erwan, I don't understand the python console as a debug window but as a general display console. Well let's see what the developers say, it's already been forwarded.
Thanks in advance to the support.
