A text progress bar is typically used to display the progress of a long
running operation, providing a visual cue that processing is underway.

The ProgressBar class manages the current progress, and the format of the line
is given by a number of widgets. A widget is an object that may display
differently depending on the state of the progress bar. There are many types
of widgets:

- `Timer`
- `ETA`
- `AdaptiveETA`
- `FileTransferSpeed`
- `AdaptiveTransferSpeed`
- `AnimatedMarker`
- `Counter`
- `Percentage`
- `FormatLabel`
- `SimpleProgress`
- `Bar`
- `ReverseBar`
- `BouncingBar`
- `RotatingMarker`
- `DynamicMessage`

The progressbar module is very easy to use, yet very powerful. It will also
automatically enable features like auto-resizing when the system supports it.

Usage
******************************************************************************

There are many ways to use Python Progressbar, you can see a few basic examples
here but there are many more in the :doc:`examples` file.

Wrapping an iterable
==============================================================================
::

import time
import progressbar

bar = progressbar.ProgressBar()
for i in bar(range(100)):
time.sleep(0.02)

Context wrapper
==============================================================================
::

import time
import progressbar

with progressbar.ProgressBar(max_value=10) as bar:
for i in range(10):
time.sleep(0.1)
bar.update(i)

Combining progressbars with print output
==============================================================================
::

import time
import progressbar

bar = progressbar.ProgressBar(redirect_stdout=True)
for i in range(100):
print 'Some text', i
time.sleep(0.1)
bar.update(i)

Progressbar with unknown length
==============================================================================
::

import time
import progressbar

bar = progressbar.ProgressBar(max_value=progressbar.UnknownLength)
for i in range(20):
time.sleep(0.1)
bar.update(i)

Bar with custom widgets
==============================================================================
::

import time
import progressbar

bar = progressbar.ProgressBar(widgets=[
' [', progressbar.Timer(), '] ',
progressbar.Bar(),
' (', progressbar.ETA(), ') ',
])
for i in bar(range(20)):
time.sleep(0.1)
