dashbar 2.1

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")

Customizing dashbar
Dashbars can be customized with the following code:
dashbar.customize(element="filler", value=" ")
