Python Process Progress Indicator Prompt

I have a nexted for loop like below:

for N1 in range(1, 96):
    for N2 in range(N1 + 1, 97):
        for N3 in range(N2 + 1, 98):
            for N4 in range(N3 + 1, 99):
                for N5 in range(N4 + 1, 100):
                    remaining coding logic

I would like to have a process progress indicator prompt (stationary line) to show the nexted for loops increment like

print("N1:", N1, "N2:", N2...)

All my attempts (like the print above or sys.stdout.write/sys.stdout.flush) have created scrolling process progress indicator prompt, what does not look really pretty.

Thank you

I have tried progress, but doesn't work very well in the nested loop:

bar1 = Bar('Processing B1', max=20)
for i in range(20):
    bar2 = Bar('Processing B2', max=20)
    for x in range(20):
        bar2.next()
    bar2.finish()
    bar1.next()
bar1.finish()

Processing B2 |################################| 20/20

Use the following print statement;

print("\033[1G\033[0KN1:", N1, "N2:", N2, end='')

The stuff at the beginning are ANSI escape codes.

  • \033[1G means "move the cursor to column 1".
  • \033[0K means "clear to the end of the line".
