python make loading animation terminal code example

Example 1: how to make loading in python

import time
import sys

done = 'false'
#here is the animation
def animate():
    while done == 'false':
        sys.stdout.write('\rloading |')
        time.sleep(0.1)
        sys.stdout.write('\rloading /')
        time.sleep(0.1)
        sys.stdout.write('\rloading -')
        time.sleep(0.1)
        sys.stdout.write('\rloading \\')
        time.sleep(0.1)
    sys.stdout.write('\rDone!     ')

animate()
#long process here
done = 'false'

Example 2: loading animation python

import itertools
import threading
import time
import sys

done = False
#here is the animation
def animate():
    for c in itertools.cycle(['|', '/', '-', '\\']):
        if done:
            break
        sys.stdout.write('\rloading ' + c)
        sys.stdout.flush()
        time.sleep(0.1)
    sys.stdout.write('\rDone!     ')

t = threading.Thread(target=animate)
t.start()

#long process here
time.sleep(10)
done = True
