Print a horizontal line in python

Try printing out using the following:

print('─' * 10)  # U+2500, Box Drawings Light Horizontal
print('─' * 10)  # U+2501, Box Drawings Heavy Horizontal
print('―' * 10)  # U+2015, Horizontal Bar
print('_' * 10)  # Underscore

Output

──────────   U+2500, Box Drawings Light Horizontal
──────────   U+2501, Box Drawings Heavy Horizontal
――――――――――   U+2015, Horizontal Bar
__________   Underscore

Take a look at the Box-drawing character Wikipedia page for more bars you can use

If you would like to print a horizontal line across the terminal the width of the terminal, you can use:

import os
term_size = os.get_terminal_size()
print('=' * term_size.columns)

You could try printing extended ASCII characters as in the below example. Here the ASCII value u'\u2500' relates to hyphen without spaces at start and end. The \u specifies the following string is in extended ASCII form and 2500 denotes the ─ symbol.

print(u'\u2500' * 10)

Result
