PygressBar is a progressbar utility for our command line tools, scripts... Some of features:
- Different flavours with premade bars
- Extensible
- Customizable bars
- Fast and easy usage
- Terminal bar animation compatible (wget style)
- Python 3 compatible
- Python >=2.7 or Python 3
###Simple bar###
The simple bar is a bar that its head is > its body area is = and
the empty area is . It's length always is 20. Example
[==============> ]
###Custom bar###
The custom bar, is a bar that can be customized in all the ways.
- Left and right limits
- Lenght
- Fill char
- Empty char
- Head
- Format
- Scale (for increase and decrease)
- Start point
Some examples:
(==============#..................................)
|#####@-----------|
<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxO____________>
#------->**************#
||||||||||||||||||||||_________
###Simple percent bar###
The simple percent bar is the same as the simple bar, but in the right side has the numeric percent progress. Example
[===================>](100%)
[> ](5%)
[=========> ](54%)
[======> ](36%)
[===========> ](63%)
###Simple Animated bar###
The animated bar animates the head. The animation is created with a tuple.
By default will be the classic spinner: |, /, -, \. Also it has the
attribute speed that is the speed between 0 (slowest) and 2000 (the highest).
The spinner speed animation is something tricky and depends on the printed (or
getted) times, so it's recommended to test the best speed for your needs.
Example:
[=========| ]
[=========/ ]
[=========- ]
[=========\ ]
[=========| ]
###Simple Color bar###
The simple color bar is the same bar as the simple bar but with colors (ANSI
terminal colors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors). To
customize the colors, each part has a property: left_limit_clr,
right_limit_clr, head_clr, filled_clr, empty_clr Pygressbar comes with
various colors: RED, BLUE, GREEN, MAGENTA, WHITE, COL_RESET,
YELLOW and CYAN
Example:
![Pygressbar in action](https://gist.github.com/slok/3885420/raw/b0b754ada28a3b9bd5ead6e6edb9cec18d402ecc/pygress_color.png"Pygressbar in action")
The usage is very simple. Create an instance of the bar that you want:
>>> bar = SimpleProgressBar()
Now we can obtain the progress of the bar
>>> bar.progress
0
And increase and decrease
>>> bar.increase(50)
>>> bar.progress
50
>>> bar.decrease(3)
>>> bar.progress
47
If we want we can obtain the progress bar representation
>>> bar.progress_bar
'[========> ]'
If we want to animate the bar in the terminal, we can print it directly. This allows to animate if we don't print nothing more after printing this.
>>> bar.show_progress_bar()
