Text Progress Bar in the Console [closed]

Answer 1

import time,sys

for i in range(100+1):
    time.sleep(0.1)
    sys.stdout.write(('='*i)+(''*(100-i))+("\r [ %d"%i+"% ] "))
    sys.stdout.flush()

output

A very simple solution is to put this code into your loop:

Put this in the body (i.e. top) of your file:

import sys

Put this in the body of your loop:

sys.stdout.write("-") # prints a dash for each iteration of loop
sys.stdout.flush() # ensures bar is displayed incrementally

Answer 3

and, just to add to the pile, here's an object you can use

import sys

class ProgressBar(object):
    DEFAULT_BAR_LENGTH = 65
    DEFAULT_CHAR_ON  = '='
    DEFAULT_CHAR_OFF = ' '

    def __init__(self, end, start=0):
        self.end    = end
        self.start  = start
        self._barLength = self.__class__.DEFAULT_BAR_LENGTH

        self.setLevel(self.start)
        self._plotted = False

    def setLevel(self, level):
        self._level = level
        if level < self.start:  self._level = self.start
        if level > self.end:    self._level = self.end

        self._ratio = float(self._level - self.start) / float(self.end - self.start)
        self._levelChars = int(self._ratio * self._barLength)

    def plotProgress(self):
        sys.stdout.write("\r  %3i%% [%s%s]" %(
            int(self._ratio * 100.0),
            self.__class__.DEFAULT_CHAR_ON  * int(self._levelChars),
            self.__class__.DEFAULT_CHAR_OFF * int(self._barLength - self._levelChars),
        ))
        sys.stdout.flush()
        self._plotted = True

    def setAndPlot(self, level):
        oldChars = self._levelChars
        self.setLevel(level)
        if (not self._plotted) or (oldChars != self._levelChars):
            self.plotProgress()

    def __add__(self, other):
        assert type(other) in [float, int], "can only add a number"
        self.setAndPlot(self._level + other)
        return self
    def __sub__(self, other):
        return self.__add__(-other)
    def __iadd__(self, other):
        return self.__add__(other)
    def __isub__(self, other):
        return self.__add__(-other)

    def __del__(self):
        sys.stdout.write("\n")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import time
    count = 150
    print "starting things:"

    pb = ProgressBar(count)

    #pb.plotProgress()
    for i in range(0, count):
        pb += 1
        #pb.setAndPlot(i + 1)
        time.sleep(0.01)
    del pb

    print "done"

results in:

starting things:
  100% [=================================================================]
done

This would most commonly be considered to be "over the top", but it's handy when you're using it a lot

Answer 4

I am using progress from reddit. I like it because it can print progress for every item in one line, and it shouldn't erase printouts from the program.

Edit: fixed link

Answer 5

Putting together some of the ideas I found here, and adding estimated time left:

import datetime, sys

start = datetime.datetime.now()

def print_progress_bar (iteration, total):

    process_duration_samples = []
    average_samples = 5

    end = datetime.datetime.now()

    process_duration = end - start

    if len(process_duration_samples) == 0:
        process_duration_samples = [process_duration] * average_samples

    process_duration_samples = process_duration_samples[1:average_samples-1] + [process_duration]
    average_process_duration = sum(process_duration_samples, datetime.timedelta()) / len(process_duration_samples)
    remaining_steps = total - iteration
    remaining_time_estimation = remaining_steps * average_process_duration

    bars_string = int(float(iteration) / float(total) * 20.)
    sys.stdout.write(
        "\r[%-20s] %d%% (%s/%s) Estimated time left: %s" % (
            '='*bars_string, float(iteration) / float(total) * 100,
            iteration,
            total,
            remaining_time_estimation
        ) 
    )
    sys.stdout.flush()
    if iteration + 1 == total:
        print 


# Sample usage

for i in range(0,300):
    print_progress_bar(i, 300)

Answer 6

The python module progressbar is a nice choice. Here is my typical code:

import time
import progressbar

widgets = [
    ' ', progressbar.Percentage(),
    ' ', progressbar.SimpleProgress(format='(%(value_s)s of %(max_value_s)s)'),
    ' ', progressbar.Bar('>', fill='.'),
    ' ', progressbar.ETA(format_finished='- %(seconds)s  -', format='ETA: %(seconds)s', ),
    ' - ', progressbar.DynamicMessage('loss'),
    ' - ', progressbar.DynamicMessage('error'),
    '                          '
]

bar = progressbar.ProgressBar(redirect_stdout=True, widgets=widgets)
bar.start(100)
for i in range(100):
    time.sleep(0.1)
    bar.update(i + 1, loss=i / 100., error=i)
bar.finish()
