Doing a small project thats get executed from the Script Console.

This is truly not necessary for my project but I always like to doing different things.

Correct, neither the script console nor the output console are anything like a true TTY, so line by line output is the best you can do.

Just for the record, I ended doing this:

print(u"Loading input workbook ⏳."),

load_workbook(in_path)

print(u"Done!")
print(u"Loading output workbook ⏳."),

load_workbook(out_path)

print(u"Done!")
