How can I modify my Caesar cipher implementation to output the result as a single string?

I'm trying to write a Ceasar cipher; whenever it prints the result, each string creates a new line instead of a single string.

This is the output:

Q

M

D

X

I wanted the output to go like this: QMDX.

Here is the code:
print("""

           ""             88                                 
                          88

              88                                      """)



alphabet = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']

direction = input("Type 'encode' to encrypt, type 'decode' to decrypt:\n")
text = input("Type your message:\n").lower()
shift = int(input("Type the shift number:\n"))

def encrypt(text, shift):
    for i in text:
        encryption = ""
        i_unicode = ord(i)
        i_index = ord(i) - ord('A')
        new_index = (i_index + shift) % 26
        new_unicode = new_index + ord('A')
        new_character = chr(new_unicode)
        encryption = encryption + new_character

        print(encryption)


            
        
        

encrypt(text, shift)

Thank you!

You need to initialize encryption outside the for loop. Right now it's value is being reset every time you encode a new letter, so it isn't getting any longer.

def encrypt(text, shift):
    encryption = ""
    for i in text:
        i_unicode = ord(i)
        i_index = ord(i) - ord('A')
        new_index = (i_index + shift) % 26
        new_unicode = new_index + ord('A')
        new_character = chr(new_unicode)
        encryption = encryption + new_character
        
        print(encryption)

This will result in:

Q
QM
QMD
QMDX

If you only want it to print once, put the print statement outside the for loop.

def encrypt(text, shift):
    encryption = ""
    for i in text:
        i_unicode = ord(i)
        i_index = ord(i) - ord('A')
        new_index = (i_index + shift) % 26
        new_unicode = new_index + ord('A')
        new_character = chr(new_unicode)
        encryption = encryption + new_character
        
        print(encryption)

Then it will output:

QMDX

In case this comes up for how to make a caeser cypher in python, a more efficient method is, as suggested by ShadowRanger, string.maketrans:

import string

def caeserEncode(target, shift):
    alphabet = \
        string.ascii_lowercase + \
        string.ascii_uppercase

    encodedAlphabet = \
        string.ascii_lowercase[shift:] + \
        string.ascii_lowercase[0:shift] + \
        string.ascii_uppercase[shift:] + \
        string.ascii_uppercase[0:shift]
    transTable = target.maketrans(alphabet, encodedAlphabet)
    return target.translate(transTable)

print(caeserEncode("testString", 2))
#output vguvUvtkpi

print(caeserEncode("abc xyz", 2))
#cde zab
