I am on Zorin OS 16 Lite, as up to date as i can get it.
Ok, so i have written a Python script which heavily utilises the end="\r" command to write out terminal prompts one letter at a time. I want to run it in my terminal instead of VSCode, but when I try to, it gives me the error:
$ python main.py
** File "main.py", line 32**
** print(sentence, end="\r")**
** ^**
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Thing is, it runs perfectly in VSCode. However, if I use the command: $ python3 main.py It will run, but it outputs everything twice. Here is the code, because it could be helpful i guess. The 'say' function is what is giving me trouble. if anyone knows whats going on i would be really greatful. thanks!
