Python progress bar and downloads

Question

I have a python script that launches a URL that is a downloadable file. Is there some way to have python use commandline to display the download progress as oppose to launch

Answer 1

There is an answer with requests and tqdm.

import requests
from tqdm import tqdm


def download(url: str, fname: str):
    resp = requests.get(url, stream=True)
    total = int(resp.headers.get('content-length', 0))
    with open(fname, 'wb') as file, tqdm(
        desc=fname,
        total=total,
        unit='iB',
        unit_scale=True,
        unit_divisor=1024,
    ) as bar:
        for data in resp.iter_content(chunk_size=1024):
            size = file.write(data)
            bar.update(size)
