EZ Bar

A simple progress bar for loop progress measurement and time estimation.

The original idea and base script for this repository were proposed by @carlospuenteg. I just decided to refactor the code and add some nice features such as remaining and elapsed time counting.

Features

• Simple and easy to use (create a progress bar and update it)
• Colorful output so that you always see how your loop is progressing
• Estimated time of completion prediction. No need to stare at the screen for minutes!
• Elapsed time display. Know the efficiency of your loops!

Installation

The installation of this module is performed via the Python Package Index (PyPI).

macOS / UNIX

Windows

This operating system is not supported yet.

Usage

Just import the ProgressBar class and it will be ready to go!

from ezbar import ProgressBar

Example

from time import sleep
from ezbar import ProgressBar

ITERATIONS = 100

# Use default settings:

pb = ProgressBar(ITERATIONS)

for i in range(ITERATIONS):
    sleep(0.05)
    pb.update(i)

# Or customize them all you want!

pb = ProgressBar(ITERATIONS, text="Loading...", width=30)

for i in range(ITERATIONS):
    sleep(0.05)
    pb.update(i)

Disclaimer

This progress bar does not serve a performance counting purpose. It is only meant to be used for orientative loop progress measurement and time estimation. Do not use it for strict performance measurements.
