Percent Sign At The End Of The Output Of Python Script

Why is a percent sign at the end of the output of the python script? $ echo 'TEST TEST' | trim TESTTEST% #!/usr/bin/env python import sys if __name__ == '__main__': for lin

Solution 1:

The % you see there might actually be your shell prompt, and not part of your program output. You're not writing a new line after your output, so the shell prompt appears at the very end of the output of the last command.

Possible solutions:

1. Use print instead of sys.stdout.write
2. Append a newline to the end of the output with + "\n"
3. Add a print() to the end of your program
