Answer 2

Well here is code that works and I tested it before posting:

import sys
def prg(prog, fillchar, emptchar):
    fillt = 0
    emptt = 20
    if prog < 100 and prog > 0:
        prog2 = prog/5
        fillt = fillt + prog2
        emptt = emptt - prog2
        sys.stdout.write("\r[" + str(fillchar)*fillt + str(emptchar)*emptt + "]" + str(prog) + "%")
        sys.stdout.flush()
    elif prog >= 100:
        prog = 100
        prog2 = prog/5
        fillt = fillt + prog2
        emptt = emptt - prog2
        sys.stdout.write("\r[" + str(fillchar)*fillt + str(emptchar)*emptt + "]" + str(prog) + "%" + "\nDone!")
        sys.stdout.flush()
    elif prog < 0:
        prog = 0
        prog2 = prog/5
        fillt = fillt + prog2
        emptt = emptt - prog2
        sys.stdout.write("\r[" + str(fillchar)*fillt + str(emptchar)*emptt + "]" + str(prog) + "%" + "\nHalted!")
        sys.stdout.flush()

Pros:

• 20 character bar (1 character for every 5 (number wise))
• Custom fill characters
• Custom empty characters
• Halt (any number below 0)
• Done (100 and any number above 100)
• Progress count (0-100 (below and above used for special functions))
• Percentage number next to bar, and it's a single line

Cons:

• Supports integers only (It can be modified to support them though, by making the division an integer division, so just change prog2 = prog/5 to prog2 = int(prog/5))

Answer 3

Install tqdm.(pip install tqdm) and use it as follows:

import time
from tqdm import tqdm
for i in tqdm(range(1000)):
    time.sleep(0.01)

That's a 10 seconds progress bar that'll output something like this:

47%|██████████████████▊                     | 470/1000 [00:04<00:05, 98.61it/s]

Answer 4

Run this at the Python command line (not in any IDE or development environment):

>>> import threading
>>> for i in range(50+1):
...   threading._sleep(0.5)
...   print "\r%3d" % i, ('='*i)+('-'*(50-i)),

Works fine on my Windows system.

Answer 5

For python 3:

def progress_bar(current_value, total):
    increments = 50
    percentual = ((current_value/ total) * 100)
    i = int(percentual // (100 / increments ))
    text = "\r[{0: <{1}}] {2}%".format('=' * i, increments, percentual)
    print(text, end="\n" if percentual == 100 else "")

Answer 6

Check this library: clint

it has a lot of features including a progress bar:

from time import sleep  
from random import random  
from clint.textui import progress  
if __name__ == '__main__':
    for i in progress.bar(range(100)):
        sleep(random() * 0.2)

    for i in progress.dots(range(100)):
        sleep(random() * 0.2)

this link provides a quick overview of its features
