progress2 1.1.0

Allows for easy creation of progress-bars and text

Allows for easy creation of progress-bars and text.

progress has been tested with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3, and as of now requires at least Python 2.6

Installation:

Note: PyPI already contains a progress entry, so this module is located at progress2.

You can install via pip:

pip install progress2

Alternatively, if you downloaded the source files, just run the following command from the download directory:

python setup.py install

Usage:

Creating a ProgressBar:

>>> import progress
>>> bar = progress.ProgressBar("[{progress}] {percentage:.2f}% ({minutes}:{seconds})", width=30)
>>> bar.show()
[                              ] 0.00% (0:0)>>>
>>> bar.update(26)
>>> bar.show()
[======>                       ] 26.00% (0:0)>>>
>>>

Creating a ProgressText:

>>> text = progress.ProgressText("Searching: {progress}", "|/-\\", autoreset=True)
>>> text.show()
|>>>
>>> text.update(); text.show()
/>>>
>>> text.update(); text.show()
->>>
>>> text.update(); text.show()
\>>>

Refer to the examples/ directory for some example code.

Implementation Notes:

Since most terminals cannot clear their output buffers across newlines or carriage returns, progress does not work if you insert them, e.g. progress.ProgressBar("{progress}\n{percentage}") will not be cleared from the terminal.
