Display a countdown for the python sleep function

Question

I am using time.sleep(10) in my program. Can display the countdown in the shell when I run my program?

>>>run_my_program()
tasks done, now sleeping          


        

Answer 1

This is something that I've learned at one of my first python lessons, we played with ["/","-","|","\","|"] but the principle is the same:

import time

for i in reversed(range(0, 10)):
    time.sleep(1)
    print "%s\r" %i,
