This module allows you to display, in the console, a progress indicator and other indicators of any process you need.

Indicators that can be displayed:

• progress indicator
• percent indicator
• timer indicator
• data rate indicator
• transmitted data indicator

Any indicator, if desired, can be either turned on or off or displayed with default settings, or you yourself can configure multiple parameters for any indicator you need.

Support: or

pip3 install spb

Alternatively you can install spb from sources directory:

git clone https://github.com/patsuckow/spb
cd spb
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install . --user
cd ..
rm -rf spb

from spb import SimpleProgressBar as spb

See in file requirements.txt

spb works with or higher.

• import sys
• import time
• import shutil
• from typing import Union
• from collections import deque

Basic use cases. We display the progress bar itself and the percentage indicator with different settings. All possible options for setting parameters, see the documentation.

Here is not show the display of file transfer rate indicators and the number of transmitted data.

• Base example №2 (with setting some parameters you need):
• Base example №3 (with setting some parameters you need):
• Base example №4 (start progress bar not from zero cycles (percent)):
• Base example №5 (whith decreasing progress bar not from zero cycles (percent)):

Other configuration options (variant_brackets, variant_arrow and variant_space) can be found here.

How uses a load file indicator and progress bar indicator (the type of indicator will depend on the settings that you set)

1. Unicode-symbols values that can be used for parameters, can be taken from the Unicode table. You can copy Unicode characters, for example, from this site: https://unicode-table.com/en/

2. By default, the width of the console window is different on different systems, but on average 80 columns. If you do not expand the console window to full screen, then this will not be enough to display all the possible indicators and inscriptions in the progress bar line. But thanks to the settings, you can display those indicators, icons and exchanges of indicators that you need and hide what you do not need.

3. For recording gifs, was used the console utility peek - Simple animated GIF screen recorder with an easy to use interface https://github.com/phw/peek
