Some strange characters are printed instead of the carriage return action. I thought this worked for me before, but maybe I changed something.
This only happens in IDLE. When I try the python in Shell it behaves fine (except that it stays there after the loop is over).
Is there a quick fix I'm not aware of? I've had problems with the carriage return thing when I tried to create a progress bar myself. Ubuntu 14.04 is common enough that I thought this would be solved.

Thanks for the amazing project!
