This is tipically +used to display the progress of a long running operation, providing +a visual clue that processing is underway. + +The ProgressBar class manages the progress, and the format of the +line is given by a number of widgets. A widget is an object that +may display diferently depending on the state of the progress. + +There are three types of widget: + +- a string, which always shows itself; + +- a ProgressBarWidget, which may return a diferent value every time +it's update method is called; and + +- a ProgressBarWidgetHFill, which is like ProgressBarWidget, except +it expands to fill the remaining width of the line. + +WWW: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/progressbar/ |
