Console input and output getting merged

Code Help Python
1

When using print(“anything here”) and doing it fast (As in having some time.sleep() at like 0.1-0.5s) it gets all messed up when im in the console tab

I wanted to print some information to the console (which gets cleared quickly) and i could input things for that information to get modified.
it worked but the text i put into the console would get merged with the print()

This has happened across languages i had an issue like this in c++

it may be just an extension i have on my browser

sorry i just realized this is the wrong category im short on time while writing this

try using flush
for python:

print("example text uwu", flush=True)

let me look up the syntax for flush in c++

seems to not have worked i can share what i have now

Please do, either with a repl link, or your code, formatted like so:

```language-name
code
```

Yes, sharing what you have may help. :+1:

import time
import threading

def printer(lock, stop_event):
    i = 0
    while True:
        i += 1
        time.sleep(1)
        with lock:
            
            print(f"i's value is {i}",flush=True)
            

lock = threading.Lock()

stop_event = threading.Event()


p = threading.Thread(target=printer, args=(lock, stop_event), daemon=True)


p.start()
if input():
		print("hey look")
		if input() == "stop":
			print("also you said stop")
		p.join()

most of this code was stolen but i just wanted to see if it was possible

modify the code to use a separate line for input because something was happening with the first lines being messed up

See if this works

while True:
    i += 1
    time.sleep(1)
    with lock:
        print(f"i's value is {i}", flush=True)
    
    if input("Enter something: "):
        print("Hey, look")
        if input("Enter 'stop' to stop: ") == "stop":
            print("You said stop")
            break

i had to go last second should i mark your answer as the solution since it wasnt what i was really looking for (however the console output was not getting merged with the input)

I reproduced the error in another replit https://replit.com/@TG101/Typing-Simulator-Template#main.py
When typing anything the output is pushed with those letters is there no way of stopping this?

try this.

import time
import threading

lock = threading.Lock()
i = 0

def input_thread():
    while True:
        if input("Enter something: "):
            print("Hey, look")
            if input("Enter 'stop' to stop: ") == "stop":
                print("You said stop")
                break

input_thread = threading.Thread(target=input_thread)
input_thread.start()

while True:
    i += 1
    time.sleep(1)
    with lock:
        if not input_thread.is_alive():
            print(f"i's value is {i}", flush=True)
            break

What is the specific output you would like to reach?

can you give me an example?
