from textformat.progress import Color, DownloadProgressBar
from pathlib import Path
def download_with_progress(url: str, output_path: Path, download_color, complete_color):
    response = requests.get(url, stream=True)
    total = int(response.headers.get('content-length', 0))

    if response.status_code != 200:

    progress = DownloadProgressBar(total, prefix=output_path.name, 
                           download_color=download_color, complete_color=complete_color)
    with open(output_path, "wb") as f:
        for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=8192):
            if chunk:
                f.write(chunk)
                progress.update(progress.downloaded + len(chunk))
