Shadowbar, a simple process based progress bar

Getting started

from shadowbar import ProgressBar

progress, pbar = ProgressBar.new(length, total, refresh_rate=0.5)

Parameters

• Length specifies the amount of characters the progress bar will span in the console
• Total specifies the amount of tasks that will be executed
• Refresh rate is the delay between updates. To short delays will lead to flickering in the console. The recommended and default value is 0.5

Returns

• Progress is an integer shared value from multiprocessing import Value
• Pbar is the ProgressBar object instantiated through ProgressBar.new()

Examples

from shadowbar import ProgressBar
from time import sleep

progress, pbar = ProgressBar.new(50, 100)

for _ in range(100):
	progress.value += 1
	sleep(0.5)

pbar.wait_complete()
print("Task is done!")

pbar.wait_complete() ensures that the process is done before continuing
