how to make a loading screen in python code example
Example: loading screen python
import sys
import time
print("pls wait", end ="")
loading = True # a simple var to keep the loading status
loading_speed = 4 # number of characters to print out per second
loading_string = "." * 6 # characters to print out one by one (6 dots in this example)
while loading:
for index, char in enumerate(loading_string):
# you can check your loading status here
# if the loading is done set `loading` to false and break
sys.stdout.write(char) # write the next char to STDOUT
sys.stdout.flush() # flush the output
time.sleep(1.0 / loading_speed) # wait to match our speed
index += 1 # lists are zero indexed, we need to increase by one for the accurate count
# backtrack the written characters, overwrite them with space, backtrack again:
sys.stdout.write("\b" * index + " " * index + "\b" * index)
sys.stdout.flush() # flush the output
