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

# Define Progress Bar function

def print_progressbar(total,current,barsize=60):
    progress=int(current*barsize/total)
    completed= str(int(current*100/total)) + '%'
    print('[' , chr(9608)*progress,' ',completed,'.'*(barsize-progress),'] ',str(i)+'/'+str(total), sep='', end='\r',flush=True)

# Sample Code

total= 6000
barsize=60
print_frequency=max(min(total//barsize,100),1)
print("Start Task..",flush=True)
for i in range(1,total+1):
  if i%print_frequency == 0 or i == 1:
    print_progressbar(total,i,barsize)
print("\nFinished",flush=True)

Below lines are for illustrations only. In command prompt you will see single progress bar showing incremental progress.

[ 0%............................................................] 1/6000

[██████████ 16%..................................................] 1000/6000

[████████████████████ 33%........................................] 2000/6000

[██████████████████████████████ 50%..............................] 3000/6000

[████████████████████████████████████████ 66%....................] 4000/6000

[██████████████████████████████████████████████████ 83%..........] 5000/6000

[████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ 100%] 6000/6000
