dashbar

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

Usage

Firstly, you need to import dashbar.
It will be useful to import the time module as well

import dashbar, time

Iterating

To start dashbar, follow the example code below:

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")

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