Better_loading_bar

"Add a fully-featured loading bar to any loop type and process in just two lines!"

[○] Demo bar | 0370/1000 - [===========>                   ] - 37%   - iter/s: 0.08s - Run time: 0.08s - ETA: 51.70s

Better_loading_bar is a single script, multi-function, and multi-option class meant to allow for easy setting up and tracking of tasks progress.

Integration is kept as simple as possible, while giving the user full access to a significant number of usefull information such as ETA, run time, completion, etc... The progress bar also contains an activity indicator, which allows for easy determination of ongoing processes existance (useful for long loops).

The bar can be used for while loops too. This allows to provides information and insight on the iterations (providing run_time, and total run time for example).

The progress bar can be run on a single line or can update over new lines as process proceeds (to allow for information to be printed in between).

The bar is fully customisable, just set to False all unwanted information and parameters at initiation. Various bar and activity tracker designs are available for optimal visual effects.

Progress_bar(max_step=maxi_step,
             label="Demo bar",
             process_count=True,
             progress_percent=True,
             run_time=True,
             average_run_time=True,
             eta=True,
             overwrite_setting=True,
             bar_type="Equal",
             activity_indicator_type="Pie stack",
             rainbow_bar=False)

ANSI colours are used to enhance readability, but require compatible install to be visible (progress bar will work regardless). A special Rainbow mode is available for maximum visibility!

Progress bar:

Progress bars are used to keep track of pre-defined length processes. To create a progress bar, simply initiate an instance of the progress bar (specify the wanted information there, max_step must be specified).

bar =  Progress_bar(max_step=30)

Run .update_progress to update progress (for loops) and/or .update_activity to keep the activity animations going between main progress updates (when minor progress is made during a long loop for example). A label for the current ongoing process can be specified to keep track of sub-task in a large loop consisting of multiple steps.

bar.update_progress(self, current=None, current_process_label=None)

bar.update_activity()

*Tips: In case of very short itteration loops, disable "activity_indicator"

Activity bar

Activity bars are used to keep track of unknown-length processes (while loops). To create an activity bar, simply initiate an instance of the progress bar (specify the wanted information there, keep max_step to None):

bar =  Progress_bar(max_step=None)

Run .update_activity at the end of every iteration to update activity.

bar.update_activity()
