How to print directly above another print after a series of subsecuent prints but without leaving a blank space in python 2?
<p>Thanks beforehand. 
I'm currently trying to get some values from an array in the format that another program requieres as input. I'm iterating over i rows and j columns since I need the value of i directly followed by the value of array[i,j] (if non-zero and i different than j) printed directly on the same line for each  value on the first dimension. I also need to jump to the next line only for a new value of i. I've achieved it with a normal jump line "\n", but it leaves a blank line and I need the next line to be directly under the previous with no blank line. I know I could easily fix this in bash but I'd like to know a method to do it in python.</p>

<p>This is what I'm trying and the result:</p>

<pre><code>import numpy as np
z=np.arange(100).reshape(10,10)
z[5,4]=0
print z
for i in xrange(1,10,1):
for j in xrange(1,10,1):
    if not (i==j):
        if not z[i,j]==0:
            print j, z[i,j],
print "\n"
</code></pre>

<p>A call to print automatically adds a newline at the end of what it prints. You can suppress the newline by adding a comma at the end as you have done. However in your call to <code>print '\n'</code> at the end of the loop, you are adding two newlines because print adds a newline to the end of your '\n'. Either end this print statement with a comma or print the empty string, either will work:</p>

<pre><code>import numpy as np
z=np.arange(100).reshape(10,10)
z[5,4]=0
print z
for i in xrange(1,10,1):
    for j in xrange(1,10,1):
        if not (i==j):
            if not z[i,j]==0:
                print j, z[i,j],
    print ""   # automatically adds newline to end of empty string.
    # print "\n",  # &lt;---- could use this alternatively. Note the comma at the end
