[GRASS-dev] python percent() function: omit newlines?

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

we have a small problem with grass.core.percent; which we use
in a "for" loop. Unfortunately, calling the classical g.message,
the percent() function issues with each output a newline.
Since we work with very big map (around 350.000.000 cells),
getting that number of newlines is, say, unfortunate.

I wonder if we need some "no newline" magic in g.message for this
(ne flag?) or if we can clone percent() in lib/python/core.py to not write
out a new line but to go just to the beginning of the line instead as
it is done for the topology creation progress.
