Print loop to the same line in terminal

Here is some code. it should be self explanatory. but anyways here we go.

   try:
        smtpserver.login(user, password)
        print "password is:  %s" % password
        break;
   except smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError:
        print "wrong: %s" % password

All works fie except instead of it printing lines like

wrong: pass
wrong: pass
wrong: pass

Is it possible to print on the same line until a password match is found?

In python, a , at the end of print statement, prevents a line break, thus preventing the next text from printing in new line. So,

  try:
    smtpserver.login(user, password)
    print "password is:  %s" % password
    break;
  except smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError:
    print "wrong: %s" % password,

This will print all text in same line, until the password is right
