Text Progress Bar in the Console [closed]

Answer 1

With the great advices above I work out the progress bar.

However I would like to point out some shortcomings

1. Every time the progress bar is flushed, it will start on a new line

   print('\r[{0}]{1}%'.format('#' * progress* 10, progress))  
   

   like this:
   [] 0%
   [#]10%
   [##]20%
   [###]30%

2.The square bracket ']' and the percent number on the right side shift right as the '###' get longer.
3. An error will occur if the expression 'progress / 10' can not return an integer.

And the following code will fix the problem above.

def update_progress(progress, total):  
    print('\r[{0:10}]{1:>2}%'.format('#' * int(progress * 10 /total), progress), end='')
