Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

reprint

✓ from reprint import output

The main class is 'output' from the reprint module. No common wrong import pattern.

output

✓ from reprint import output

Direct import of the output function/class.

Creates a dynamic multi-line output that refreshes in place. The 'initial_len' sets the number of lines; assign to list indices to update.

import time from reprint import output with output(initial_len=3, interval=0.1) as output_lines: for i in range(10): output_lines[0] = f"Line 1: {i}" output_lines[1] = f"Line 2: {i*2}" output_lines[2] = f"Line 3: {i*3}" time.sleep(0.5)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe 'output' context manager must be used with a 'with' statement. Assigning to output_lines indices without the proper context will cause undefined behavior or errors.

fix

Always use 'with output(initial_len=..., interval=...) as output_lines:' and modify output_lines within the block.

affects: all

gotchaThe 'initial_len' parameter is optional but if not set, the output may not have enough lines. Attempting to access an index beyond the current number of lines will raise an IndexError.

fix

Set 'initial_len' to the maximum number of lines you intend to update, or ensure you only update indices within range.

affects: all

deprecatedPython 2 support is not actively maintained. The library may work but is not guaranteed to receive bug fixes for Python 2.

fix

Use Python 3 for best compatibility.

affects: 0.6.0

gotchaThe 'interval' parameter controls refresh rate. Setting it too low (e.g., 0) may cause high CPU usage or terminal flickering.

fix

Use a reasonable interval (>= 0.05) to avoid performance issues.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'reprint' has no attribute 'output'

Incorrect import: using 'import reprint' then calling 'reprint.output'

fix

Correct import: from reprint import output

IndexError: list assignment index out of range

Trying to update an index that exceeds the number of lines defined by 'initial_len'

fix

Set 'initial_len' to the number of lines you will modify, or modify only existing indices.

ValueError: I/O operation on closed file.

Attempting to modify output_lines after the 'with' block has exited

fix

Ensure all modifications to output_lines are made within the 'with' block.
