Python slow print

slowprint.py

import sys
import time

def slowprint(s):
  for c in s + '\n':
    sys.stdout.write(c)
    sys.stdout.flush()
    time.sleep(1./10)

if __name__ == "__main__":
  slowprint("This is a test of slowprint")

Hi, could you explain, how this code works ?

Thanks! Helped me a lot!

How does this code work?

Save it in file then run it.
python x.py
it print to stdout 1 char of the string passed to the function every time the timer times out

doesnt work?
