Print Text 'Loading' with dots going forward and backward in python shell

Check This Module Keyboard with many features. Install It, perhaps with this command:

pip3 install keyboard

Then Write the following code in File textdot.py:

def text(text_to_print,num_of_dots,num_of_loops):
    from time import sleep
    import keyboard
    import sys
    shell = sys.stdout.shell
    shell.write(text_to_print,'stdout')
    dotes = int(num_of_dots) * '.'
    for last in range(0,num_of_loops):
        for dot in dotes:
            keyboard.write('.')
            sleep(0.1)
        for dot in dotes:
            keyboard.write('\x08')
            sleep(0.1)

Now Paste the file in Lib from your python folder.
Now you Can use it like following example:

import textdot
textdot.text('Loading',6,3)

Thanks

You can use backtracking via backspace (\b) in your STDOUT to go back and 'erase' written characters before writing them again to simulate animated loading, e.g.:

import sys
import time

loading = True  # a simple var to keep the loading status
loading_speed = 4  # number of characters to print out per second
loading_string = "." * 6  # characters to print out one by one (6 dots in this example)
while loading:
    #  track both the current character and its index for easier backtracking later
    for index, char in enumerate(loading_string):
        # you can check your loading status here
        # if the loading is done set `loading` to false and break
        sys.stdout.write(char)  # write the next char to STDOUT
        sys.stdout.flush()  # flush the output
        time.sleep(1.0 / loading_speed)  # wait to match our speed
    index += 1  # lists are zero indexed, we need to increase by one for the accurate count
    # backtrack the written characters, overwrite them with space, backtrack again:
    sys.stdout.write("\b" * index + " " * index + "\b" * index)
    sys.stdout.flush()  # flush the output

Keep in mind that this is a blocking process so you either have to do your loading checks within the for loop, or run your loading in a separate thread, or run this in a separate thread - it will keep running in a blocking mode as long as its local loading variable is set to True.
