This is the easiest way I can explain this.
Currently, I have a list that I am displaying by printing it every time it is changed. I want to call it the list "cards" with the following assigned to it.
cards = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]
Instead of printing the whole list every time it changes, I just want a single display of it to change. How would I go about doing this?
You could use a small GUI with tkinter to display your values, or, derived from @kevinkayaks suggestion, print the cards in the console:
import tkinter as tk
import random
def print_cards(cards):
print("\r" + ' '.join(cards), end='', flush=True)
def shuffle_cards():
random.shuffle(cards)
print_cards(cards)
for card, text in zip(cards, texts):
text.set(card)
root.after(1000, shuffle_cards)
cards = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]
root = tk.Tk()
texts = [tk.StringVar() for _ in range(4)]
for idx in range(4):
tk.Label(root, textvariable=texts[idx]).grid(row=0, column=idx)
texts[idx].set(cards[idx])
shuffle_cards()
root.mainloop()
>>> cards = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]
>>> from time import sleep
>>> for i in range(400):
>>> print("\r" + str(cards), end="")
>>> sleep(0.5)

Won't this serve your purpose? You are reprinting the whole thing, but in the same position, so it makes no difference unless speed is a concern
"B"to"S", would you want to just print "S"?
