Text Progress Bar in the Console [closed]

Answer 1

Here's my Python 3 solution:

import time
for i in range(100):
    time.sleep(1)
    s = "{}% Complete".format(i)
    print(s,end=len(s) * '\b')

'\b' is a backslash, for each character in your string. This does not work within the Windows cmd window.

Answer 2

With the great advices above I work out the progress bar.

However I would like to point out some shortcomings

1. Every time the progress bar is flushed, it will start on a new line

   print('\r[{0}]{1}%'.format('#' * progress* 10, progress))  
   

   like this:
   [] 0%
   [#]10%
   [##]20%
   [###]30%

2.The square bracket ']' and the percent number on the right side shift right as the '###' get longer.
3. An error will occur if the expression 'progress / 10' can not return an integer.

And the following code will fix the problem above.

def update_progress(progress, total):  
    print('\r[{0:10}]{1:>2}%'.format('#' * int(progress * 10 /total), progress), end='')

Answer 3

i wrote a simple progressbar:

def bar(total, current, length=10, prefix="", filler="#", space=" ", oncomp="", border="[]", suffix=""):
    if len(border) != 2:
        print("parameter 'border' must include exactly 2 symbols!")
        return None

    print(prefix + border[0] + (filler * int(current / total * length) +
                                      (space * (length - int(current / total * length)))) + border[1], suffix, "\r", end="")
    if total == current:
        if oncomp:
            print(prefix + border[0] + space * int(((length - len(oncomp)) / 2)) +
                  oncomp + space * int(((length - len(oncomp)) / 2)) + border[1], suffix)
        if not oncomp:
            print(prefix + border[0] + (filler * int(current / total * length) +
                                        (space * (length - int(current / total * length)))) + border[1], suffix)

as you can see, it have: length of bar, prefix and suffix, filler, space, text in bar on 100%(oncomp) and borders

here an example:

from time import sleep, time
start_time = time()
for i in range(10):
    pref = str((i+1) * 10) + "% "
    complete_text = "done in %s sec" % str(round(time() - start_time))
    sleep(1)
    bar(10, i + 1, length=20, prefix=pref, oncomp=complete_text)

out in progress:

30% [######              ]

out on complete:

100% [   done in 9 sec   ] 

Answer 4

Try the click library written by the Mozart of Python, Armin Ronacher.

$ pip install click # both 2 and 3 compatible

To create a simple progress bar:

import click

with click.progressbar(range(1000000)) as bar:
    for i in bar:
        pass 

This is what it looks like:

# [###-------------------------------]    9%  00:01:14

Customize to your hearts content:

import click, sys

with click.progressbar(range(100000), file=sys.stderr, show_pos=True, width=70, bar_template='(_(_)=%(bar)sD(_(_| %(info)s', fill_char='=', empty_char=' ') as bar:
    for i in bar:
        pass

Custom look:

(_(_)===================================D(_(_| 100000/100000 00:00:02

There are even more options, see the API docs:

 click.progressbar(iterable=None, length=None, label=None, show_eta=True, show_percent=None, show_pos=False, item_show_func=None, fill_char='#', empty_char='-', bar_template='%(label)s [%(bar)s] %(info)s', info_sep=' ', width=36, file=None, color=None)

tqdm: add a progress meter to your loops in a second:

>>> import time
>>> from tqdm import tqdm
>>> for i in tqdm(range(100)):
...     time.sleep(1)
... 
|###-------| 35/100  35% [elapsed: 00:35 left: 01:05,  1.00 iters/sec]

Answer 6

based on the above answers and other similar questions about CLI progress bar, I think I got a general common answer to all of them. Check it at https://stackoverflow.com/a/15860757/2254146

In summary, the code is this:

import time, sys

# update_progress() : Displays or updates a console progress bar
## Accepts a float between 0 and 1. Any int will be converted to a float.
## A value under 0 represents a 'halt'.
## A value at 1 or bigger represents 100%
def update_progress(progress):
    barLength = 10 # Modify this to change the length of the progress bar
    status = ""
    if isinstance(progress, int):
        progress = float(progress)
    if not isinstance(progress, float):
        progress = 0
        status = "error: progress var must be float\r\n"
    if progress < 0:
        progress = 0
        status = "Halt...\r\n"
    if progress >= 1:
        progress = 1
        status = "Done...\r\n"
    block = int(round(barLength*progress))
    text = "\rPercent: [{0}] {1}% {2}".format( "#"*block + "-"*(barLength-block), progress*100, status)
    sys.stdout.write(text)
    sys.stdout.flush()

Looks like

Percent: [##########] 99.0%
