Typing effect in Python

Question

I want to make such program which reads characters from a string and prints each character after some delay so its look like typing effect.

Now my problem is sleep f

Answer 1

You have to flush the stdout at each loop, to empty the buffer:

import sys

from time import sleep

words = "This is just a test :P\n"
for char in words:
    sleep(0.5)
    sys.stdout.write(char)
    sys.stdout.flush()

Without this, it just stored your string in the buffer and wait for an \n (or sufficient amount of characters to print), which come at the end of your loop....
