Python Progress Bar
I was looking for a nice progress bar today at work to show progress rather than just printing "Waiting 30 seconds…" and having the script do nothing, I wanted to have a progress bar show.
I found a progress bar from Corey Goldberg
I did make a couple changes, and have uploaded my changes to my GitHub account.

To use this progressbar, it is very easy.
# To Setup from progress_bar import ProgressBar import sys import time def updateBar(step): p.update_time(step) sys.stdout.write("%s\r" % p) sys.stdout.flush() # # to call # wait_time = 100 # seconds p = ProgressBar(wait_time) p.empty_char = "." p.unit = "^" for step in range(wait_time+1): updateBar(step) time.sleep(1)
It will look like this when you use it
[###...............7%..................] 7^/100^
