  [Tut] [FIXED] Carriage return Not Working with Print in VS Code
Posted by: xSicKxBot - 06-10-2022, 10:21 PM - Forum: Python - No Replies

[FIXED] Carriage return Not Working with Print in VS Code

Rate this post

FIX: To fix the carriage return now working issue in your IDE, you must directly use the terminal to execute the code instead of using the built-in output console provided by the IDE.

Problem Formulation


It is a common issue in many IDEs, including VS Code and PyCharm, wherein the carriage return character (‘\r’) does not work properly within the print statement.

Example: Consider the following code where we are attempting to overwrite the previous print to the same line:

import time
li = ['start', 'Processing result']
for i in range(len(li)): print(li[i], end='\r') time.sleep(2)
print(end='\x1b[2K') # ANSI sequence to clear the line where the cursor is located
print('Terminate')

Expected Output:


Actual Output: Unfortunately, when we execute this code in VS Code and run it in the OUTPUT console, this is how the output looks:


? Thus, the actual output defeats the purpose of the code as the print statement displays the strings in new lines, which is exactly what we want to avoid.

Reason: The question here is – “Is the code wrong?” Well, there is no issue with our code. Let’s get to the root of the problem.

The OUTPUT console in VS Code exhibits a slightly different behavior than the standard output terminal. Some GUI-based IDEs don’t work properly for the Carriage return character (“\r“).  Hence, even though the code is correct, the output console of the IDE is not working properly for the carriage return within the print statement.

?Highly Recommended Read: How to Overwrite the Previous Print to Stdout in Python?

Solution


The straightforward solution to this problem is to run the code in the standard output terminal instead of executing the code in the output console.

Note: If you are facing problems with buffering the output you can use the flush='True' parameter within the print statement as shown below.

import time
li = ['start', 'Processing result']
for i in range(len(li)): print(li[i], end='\r', flush=True) time.sleep(2)
print('Terminate')

Let’s dive into the different ways to execute the code in the terminal to get the desired output:

Method 1


  • Select Terminal

  • Select the PATH, which contains the .py script. In my case, it is: D:\VS Code Python Scripts. So this is the command to navigate to this path (in WINDOWS): cd 'D:\VS Code Python Scripts'
    • Note that I have used ' ' to enclose the path to avoid any command-line error because of the spacing in the filename.

  • Once you are at the specified Path, use the normal Python command to run your script: python same_line_print.py

Output:


Method 2


  • Right-click on the code
  • Select Run Python file Terminal

Method 3


If you are using the Code Runner Extension to run your code in VS Code:

  • Click on the  down arrow button just beside the Run button. A drop down menu appears.

  • Select Run Python File (Don’t select Run Code)

Solving the Issue in PyCharm


The same issue can be observed in the PyCharm IDE as well. The solution in this case is quite similar, i.e., run the code directly in the terminal.

  • Select Terminal

  • Type the normal Python command to execute the program:
    • python 'carriage return.py'

Conclusion


Thus, the bottom line is – Though the code is correct, it is the console of the IDE that misbehaves and obstructs the carriage return, which denies us the kind of output we want. Hence, the simple solution to this is to use the terminal to run your code from within the IDE.

  News - Netflix Releases New Cuphead Show Season 2 Trailer, Premiere Date

Netflix Releases New Cuphead Show Season 2 Trailer, Premiere Date

As part of Netflix Geeked Week, the streaming service has released a new teaser trailer for Season 2 of The Cuphead Show ​based on the popular indie video game of the same name. Season 1 released mere months ago earlier this year with 12 mini-episodes, and was quickly greenlit for more--those will arrive in August.

GameSpot's review of The Cuphead Show rated the show a 9/10 back in February. "The Cuphead Show pays homage to both classic cartoons and the beloved 2017 game. The short and sweet episodes are loaded with laughs and heartwarming moments," reviewer Steven Petite said. "The animation is superb, and the voice actors bring rich personalities to characters who were previously voiceless. The show stands on its own while also being filled with fun nods to the game--without ever feeling like unnecessary fan service." Check out what's in store for Season 2 below.

Top 9 Crypto Jobs for Coders in 2023

5/5 – (1 vote)

Blockchains penetrate into every single field in computer science. Fields such as borrowing, lending, web3, crypto gaming, NFTs, DAOs, trading — to mention just a few — experience a rapid growth in recent years.

Both developers and users flock to decentralized, open, permissionless protocols: Blockchains.




The exploding interest in Blockchain development brings opportunity to coders like you. Incomes in the field become more and more unreasonable.

If you’re idealistic and ambitious, and you like the ideas of decentralization & democratization, you’ll love the rapidly growing crypto field!

This article shows that many “traditional” job descriptions can easily be morphed into an exciting new “crypto job”. Get your job in crypto!

Blockchain Developer



Blockchain Engineer Definition: A blockchain engineer operates, designs, develops, analyzes, implements, and supports a distributed blockchain network. Blockchain engineers manage specific business models dealing with blockchain technology.


The average annual income of a Blockchain engineer is between $105,180 and $108,560 according to Glassdoor (source).

But is there enough demand? Let’s have a look at Google trends to find out how interest evolves over time (source):


But are clients actually searching for blockchain engineers? A simple analysis of the search volume for the term "hire blockchain" gives us the answer (source):

Crypto Bot Developer



Trading bots are software programs that talk directly to financial exchanges. Crypto trading bots are programs that talk to crypto exchanges.

A crypto bot developer develops those programs. Crypto trading bot developers tend to be very proficient in trading, financial algorithms, APIs, and web services.


The average annual income of a Crypto Trading Bot Developer is similar to algorithmic traders of $104,422 (source).

However, due to the novelty of the industry, there’s little official data. If you assume an hourly rate of $50 and an annual 2000 hours worked, the annual income of a crypto trading bot developer would be $100,000.


Do you want to become a Crypto Trading Bot Developer? Here’s a learning path I’d propose in five steps to get started:

Web Developer



A web developer is a programmer who specializes in the development of websites or applications viewed on web browsers, mobile devices, and large desktop screens that are transported over private or public networks such as the Internet.

Web developers either work independently as freelancers or as employees for companies, government organizations, or non-profits.

Lately, many web developers have started to work for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) in the crypto ecosystem due to their expertise in native web technologies and philosophies.

The average annual income of a Web Developer in the United States is between $68,732 and $110,438 with an average income of $88,054 and a median income of $90,000 per year according to our meta-study of 11 aggregated data sources such as Glassdoor and Indeed.

Security Engineer



A security engineer is a “white-hat hacker”, i.e., an IT professional who analyzes computer systems and computer networks to ensure they are running securely.

This involves proactive analysis and understanding of possible security threats and attack vectors and designing the system to minimize the exposure to these threats.


You need to understand networking, computer security systems, databases, HTTP, and web protocols, as well as an intimate understanding of distributed systems.

The average annual income of a Security Engineer in the United States is between $75,732 and $144,874, with an average of $108,851 and a statistical median of $105,928 per year.

This data is based on our meta-study of ten (10) salary aggregators sources such as Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, and PayScale.

Distributed Systems Developer



A distributed system is a computer system spread across multiple computing devices connected via a communication network. Each participating device takes over part of the overall work performed by the system. By means of the collaboration of individual units, the system can provide services that each individual system component couldn’t provide on its own.

Some examples of distributed systems are:

  • Ethereum is a distributed system of Ethereum nodes connected via the Internet and a specific communication protocol.
  • Bitcoin is a distributed system of Bitcoin nodes connected via the Internet and a specific communication protocol as defined by the open-source Bitcoin protocol.
  • The World Wide Web is a distributed system of servers connected via IP to provide a coherent web experience via browsers and an HTML-like web experience.
  • A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is a distributed system of individuals that collaborate via a system written as a smart contract in a first-layer Blockchain such as Ethereum.

A distributed systems engineer designs, implements, and debugs distributed systems for data storage, crypto & web3, or analytics. The idea is to design a distributed system that can provide a service to users that couldn’t be provided by a centralized system (e.g., providing a decentralized, censorship-free monetary network).

The average annual income of a Distributed Systems Engineer in the United States is between $97,000 and $169,656, with an average of $126,894 and a statistical median of $130,000 per year.

JavaScript Developer



The average annual income of a JavaScript Developer is between $62,000 and $118,000 with an average of $84,000 per year according to Daxx.com and PayScale (source).

A JavaScript developer creates dynamic web applications focusing mostly on the front-end logic—but recently some back-end JavaScript frameworks emerged as well. If you like web development and programming user interfaces, you’ll love the work as a JavaScript developer.

The crypto industry is full of good old JavaScript developers — and many crypto frameworks such as web3.js are based on JavaScript.

Quant Developer



A quantitative developer (i.e., Quant) is a financial programmer focused on financial modeling and quantitative finance and trading.

Quants use their profound knowledge of

  • statistics and math,
  • finance,
  • data structures,
  • algorithms,
  • machine learning,
  • scientific computing,
  • data science,
  • chart technique, and
  • data visualization

to create models for financial prediction, backtesting, analysis, and implementation of trading and financial applications (e.g., for risk management).

The expected annual income of a Quantitative Developer (Quant) in the United States is between $86,528 and $170,000 per year, with an average annual income of $127,375 per year and a median income of $136,321 per year.

Conclusion


Many fields now incorporate Blockchains. Borrowing, lending, web3, NFTs, trading, and many more fields see a rapid growth in recent years—in developer and user interest alike.

The exploding interest in Blockchain development brings opportunity to coders like you. Incomes in the field are unreasonable.

And if you’re idealistic, you like decentralization and democratization, you’ll love the rapidly growing crypto field!
