Installation
pip install progress_bar
Usage
Generally, to create any kind of progress bar with a default “size” of 100 arbitrary units:
from progress_bar import initBar
pbar = initBar("title")
pbar(10) # update % to 10%
pbar(20) # update % to 20%
pbar(15) # simulate Microsoft progress effects
del pbar # move bar to final 100% and write the newline
To easily create a progress bar for reporting (reading) progress in a filehandle that can tell() its offset:
from progress_bar import initBarForInfile
pbar = initBarForInfile("path")
instream = open("path")
for line in instream:
pbar(instream.tell())
del pbar
With those default arguments, the bar will be as wide as the terminal window. Terminal window width is defined by termios using fcntl, both from the standard library.
