Text Progress Bar in the Console [closed]

Answer 1

I realize I'm late to the game, but here's a slightly Yum-style (Red Hat) one I wrote (not going for 100% accuracy here, but if you're using a progress bar for that level of accuracy, then you're WRONG anyway):

import sys

def cli_progress_test(end_val, bar_length=20):
    for i in xrange(0, end_val):
        percent = float(i) / end_val
        hashes = '#' * int(round(percent * bar_length))
        spaces = ' ' * (bar_length - len(hashes))
        sys.stdout.write("\rPercent: [{0}] {1}%".format(hashes + spaces, int(round(percent * 100))))
        sys.stdout.flush()

Should produce something looking like this:

Percent: [##############      ] 69%

... where the brackets stay stationary and only the hashes increase.

This might work better as a decorator. For another day...
