What kind do you want? If you want to overwrite the current line, you can use a carriage return ("\r"). The main thing is having different frames of the animation, and cycling between them:

from time import sleep

frames = [".", "..", "..."]
# or maybe
frames = ["/", "-", "\\", "|"]

for i in range(0, 10):
  for frame in frames:
    print("\r" + frame, end="")
    sleep(0.2)

@19wintersp Thank you; but can it be more simple than that. Because I'm probably going to forget that.

I'm really don't understand your point here. This is a bare-bones implementation of doing this.

Here is how.

import time
import os

for x in range(10):
    print('/')
    time.sleep(.5)
    os.system('clear')
    print('-')
    time.sleep(.5)
    os.system('clear')
    print('\\')
    time.sleep(.5)
    os.system('clear')

like that.
That should work

@RYANTADIPARTHI I'm waiting for 2 more answers to see which is the best

if you want to make one with graphics, you have to use a moudule called tkinter

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *

####LOADING SCREEN####
import time
for i in range(3):
 ws = Tk()
 def step():
    for i in range(37):
        ws.update_idletasks()
        pb1['value'] += random.choice(adl)
        time.sleep(random.choice(wl))
        
    pb1.destroy()
    ws.destroy()
 pb1 = Progressbar(ws, orient=HORIZONTAL, length=379, mode='determinate')

 pb1.pack(expand=True)
 step()

@awesomecds7 Please note that this will loop 3 times.

I would use Pygame for that, but that's more so game graphics. If you are looking for that though, i recommend this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdsNBIzsmlI
