dashbar

A progress-bar designed to be useful and easy to use.

Usage

Iterating

To start dashbar, execute the following code:

for i in dashbar.dash(10, dash_type="pipe", desc="example"):
    time.sleep(1/10) #completion after one second
    if i == 5:
        dashbar.status("half-way complete")

If the progress is large, the autodash function can be used, which adjusts the step count to fit the terminal:

for i in dashbar.autodash(10):
    time.sleep(1/10)
    if i == 8:
        dashbar.log("eighty percent complete")

Dashbars can be customized with the following code:

dashbar.customize(element="filler", value=" ")
