Python command line print on the same lines

There are many questions relating to printing on the same line but there aren't any for printing multiple lines on the same line within the terminal.

For example:

ogeno@OH-ogeno-MBP:~|⇒ python my_script.py
Process 1: 5%
Process 2: 14%
Process 3: 55%

I want the progress of these processes to update on the same line rather than printing over and over again. I have looked at other questions that say to use the return carriage character \r and sys.stdout.flush() but it doesn't seem to change the caret to go up a line, just to the end of the current line.

EDIT: My question is different because it's to do with printing MULTIPLE lines on the same lines in the terminal. It's easy if it's just one line.

  • That's giving me a weird result when I run it. Some of the print statements are being written above my main terminal line. Commented May 31, 2016 at 3:15
  • Then the screen clearing isn't working. I assume you are not working on Linux. Commented May 31, 2016 at 3:17
  • I'm on Mac. Regardless, I don't want the screen cleared, is there any way to get around this Commented May 31, 2016 at 3:19
  • @Ogen I added some more system-independent terminal clearing code. Commented May 31, 2016 at 3:20
  • @Ogen I added some code that should work without clearing the terminal. Commented May 31, 2016 at 3:36
