Enhancing Python Scripts with Alive-Progress: 5 Practical Examples

pip install alive-progress

1. Simple Progress Bar

from alive_progress import alive_bar
import time

items = range(100)
with alive_bar(len(items)) as bar:
    for item in items:
        time.sleep(0.05)  
        bar()

|████████████████████████████████████████| 100/100 [100%] in 5.0s (19.83/s)

2. Progress Bar with Custom Text

from alive_progress import alive_bar
import time

tasks = ['task1', 'task2', 'task3', 'task4']
with alive_bar(len(tasks), title='Processing Tasks') as bar:
    for task in tasks:
        time.sleep(0.5)  
        bar.text = f'Working on {task}'
        bar()

3. Nested Progress Bars

from alive_progress import alive_bar
import time

outer_items = range(3)
inner_items = range(5)
