Question

I don’t know the right terms, so it is a bit hard to search how I can achieve this.

Commandline programs normally just print lines of text. Sometimes however, the text is updated. Good examples are git pull or wget.

As example:

[>   ]  25%
[->  ]  50%
[--> ]  75%
[--->] 100%

But then on the same line changing over time.

How can I make this kind of thing in Python? It doesn’t have to be more complicated than this, I just want to make status bars…

(I want this to work at least on Ubuntu, but cross-platform is the nicest.)

Answer 1

How about the progressbar package?
