How to keep updating values for a period of time instead of iterating and printing it over and over again python

Question

So currently I have the following code:

for x in range(10):
   print(f'Machine1 Busy Value  :  {read_log ("machine1_busy_val"):.2f')
   print(f'Machine2 Busy Value  :  {read_log ("machine2_busy_val"):.2f')
   print(f'Machine3 Busy Value  :  {read_log ("machine3_busy_val"):.2f')
   print(f'Machine4 Busy Value  :  {read_log ("machine4_busy_val"):.2f')

This is giving me out that like

   Machine1 Busy Value  :  Value
   Machine2 Busy Value  :  Value
   Machine3 Busy Value  :  Value
   Machine4 Busy Value  :  Value

and this is being printed 10 times with different values as the code goes through the loop.

I need the value to update without "Machine1 Busy Value" and others being printed again. I want those to be printed once and the value for them to keep updating for a period of time. How would I go about implementing that change?

Do you mean you want to update the printed display in-place? — CrazyChucky, Nov 26 '21 at 18:01
Yes exactly I want the value to updated instead of everything being printed over and over again — Rafi Hasan, Nov 26 '21 at 18:03
I am pretty sure that you can do it for the last printed line only. I don't think you can do it for multiple lines without refreshing the entire display. — ramzeek, Nov 26 '21 at 18:11

Actually it looks like that reprint package can update multiple lines — good find! — CrazyChucky, Nov 26 '21 at 18:44
