Hey guys/gals I'm writing a python script that fixes some duplicate issues on my database. I would like to display some progress status to the users, currently I just print it like this:

print "Merged " + str(idx) + " out of " + str(totalCount);

The problem is that it prints that in a new line for every record and that does not look so good :) I'd like to either always print the string above on the same line on the screen or use some smart widget that displays it in some sort of progress bar.

I intent to run this on the command line, any suggestions will be much appreciated.
