Python Progress Bar

Question

How do I use a progress bar when my script is doing some task that is likely to take time?

For example, a function which takes some time to complete and returns

Answer 1

This is my simple solution:

import time

def progress(_cur, _max):
    p = round(100*_cur/_max)
    b = f"Progress: {p}% - ["+"."*int(p/5)+" "*(20-int(p/5))+"]"
    print(b, end="\r")

# USAGE:
for i in range(0,101):
    time.sleep(0.1) 
    progress(i,100)

print("..."*5, end="\r")
print("Done")
