from numpy import arange

# dimensional parameters for the set

yl = -1.2
yh = 1.2
ys = .05

xl = -2.05
xh = 0.55
xs = 0.03

def mandelbrot(c):
z = 0
for n in range(10):
z = z*z + c
if(abs(z) > 2):
return '.'
return '*'

s = ''
for y in arange(yl,yh,ys):
for x in arange(xl,xh,xs):
s += mandelbrot(complex(x,y))
s += '\n'

print(s)

Result:
