Basic Progress Bar

Using a for-loop


In [3]:
import time

n = 100
timesleep = 0.05

bar = pyprind.ProgBar(n)
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(timesleep) # your computation here
    bar.update()

In a while-loop


In [4]:
import random

random.seed(1)
collection = set()

n = 100
bar = pyprind.ProgBar(n, track_time=False, title='while example')

while len(collection) < n:
    r = random.randint(0, 10**5)
    if r % 7 and r not in collection:
        collection.add(r)
        bar.update()
        time.sleep(timesleep)

print(bar)

Basic Percentage Indicator

Note: the Percentage indicator is significantly slower due to background computation.
Thus, it is recommended for tasks with less iterations but longer computational time per iteration.


In [5]:
perc = pyprind.ProgPercent(n)
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(timesleep) # your computation here
    perc.update()

Progress Bar and Percentage Indicator generators

Alternatively, you can use the progress bar and percentage indicators as generators.


In [6]:
for i in pyprind.prog_bar(range(n)):
    time.sleep(timesleep) # your computation here

Progress Bar/Percentage Indicator - Reporting CPU and memory usage

monitor (bool): default False. Monitors CPU and memory usage if True (requires the psutil package).

Progress Bar/Percentage Indicator - Setting a title

title (str): default ''. A title for the progress bar


In [12]:
bar = pyprind.ProgBar(n, title='My 1st Progress Bar')
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(timesleep) # your computation here
    bar.update()

Progress Bar - Changing the default width

width (int): default 30. Sets the progress bar width in characters.


In [14]:
bar = pyprind.ProgBar(n, width=10)
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(timesleep) # your computation here
    bar.update()

Progress Bar/Percentage Indicator - Changing the output stream

stream (int): default 2. Takes 1 for stdout, 2 for stderr, or given stream object


In [16]:
bar = pyprind.ProgBar(n, stream=1)
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(timesleep) # your computation here
    bar.update()

Stopping the Progress Bar/Percentage Indicator early

The tracking object can be stopped early via the .stop() method:


In [19]:
bar = pyprind.ProgBar(n)
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(timesleep) # your computation here
    if i == 5:
        bar.stop()
        break
    bar.update()

Progress Bar/Percentage Indicator - Printing currently processed items

Sometimes it is useful to print out the name of currently processed items, e.g., files are being processed. This can be done by providing a custom string for the optional item_id parameter of the .update() method.


In [20]:
items = ['file_%s.csv' %i for i in range(1,21)]

bar = pyprind.ProgBar(len(items))
for i in items:
    time.sleep(timesleep) # your computation here
    bar.update(item_id = i)


0% [####################] 100% | ETA: 00:00:00 | Item ID: file_20.csv

Choosing your own progress bar style


In [21]:
bar = pyprind.ProgBar(n, bar_char='█')
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(0.1) # do some computation
    bar.update()


0% [██████████████████████████████] 100% | ETA: 00:00:00
Total time elapsed: 00:00:10



Controlling the update frequency

Update the progress in after iteration of the loop via the force_flush parameter.


In [22]:
n = 100
bar = pyprind.ProgBar(n, bar_char='█')
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(0.5) # do some computation
    bar.update(force_flush=True)


0% [██████████████████████████████] 100% | ETA: 00:00:00
Total time elapsed: 00:00:50


Update the progress every 4 seconds using the update_interval parameter.


In [23]:
n = 100
bar = pyprind.ProgBar(n, bar_char='█', update_interval=4)
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(0.2) # do some computation
    bar.update()

In [24]:

bar = pyprind.ProgPercent(n, update_interval=4)
for i in range(n):
    time.sleep(0.2) # do some computation
    bar.update()
