BASIC
For a basic status bar, invoke the Counter class directly.
import time
import enlighten
pbar = enlighten.Counter(total=100, desc='Basic', unit='ticks')
for num in range(100):
time.sleep(0.1) # Simulate work
pbar.update()
ADVANCED
To maintain multiple progress bars simultaneously or write to the console, a manager is required.
Advanced output will only work when the output stream, sys.__stdout__ by default, is attached to a TTY.
get_manager() can be used to get a manager instance. It will return a disabled Manager instance if the
stream is not attached to a TTY and an enabled instance if it is.
import time
import enlighten
manager = enlighten.get_manager()
ticks = manager.counter(total=100, desc='Ticks', unit='ticks')
tocks = manager.counter(total=20, desc='Tocks', unit='tocks')
for num in range(100):
time.sleep(0.1) # Simulate work
print(num)
ticks.update()
if not num % 5:
tocks.update()
manager.stop()
COUNTERS
The Counter class has two output formats, progress bar and counter.
The progress bar format is used when a total is not None and the count is less than the total. If neither
of these conditions are met, the counter format is used:
import time
import enlighten
counter = enlighten.Counter(desc='Basic', unit='ticks')
for num in range(100):
time.sleep(0.1) # Simulate work
counter.update()
STATUS BARS
Status bars are bars that work similarly to progress similarly to progress bars and counters, but present
relatively static information. Status bars are created with Manager.status_bar.
import enlighten
import time
manager = enlighten.get_manager()
status_bar = manager.status_bar('Static Message',
color='white_on_red',
justify=enlighten.Justify.CENTER)
time.sleep(1)
status_bar.update('Updated static message')
time.sleep(1)
Status bars can also use formatting with dynamic variables.
import enlighten
import time
manager = enlighten.get_manager()
status_format = '{program}{fill}Stage: {stage}{fill} Status {status}'
status_bar = manager.status_bar(status_format=status_format,
color='bold_slategray',
program='Demo',
stage='Loading',
status='OKAY')
time.sleep(1)
status_bar.update(stage='Initializing', status='OKAY')
time.sleep(1)
status_bar.update(status='FAIL')
Status bars, like other bars can be pinned. To pin a status bar to the top of all other bars, initialize
it before any other bars. To pin a bar to the bottom of the screen, use position=1 when initializing.
See StatusBar for more details.
COLOR
Status bars and the bar component of a progress bar can be colored by setting the color keyword argument.
See Series Color for more information about valid colors.
import time
import enlighten
counter = enlighten.Counter(total=100, desc='Colorized', unit='ticks', color='red')
for num in range(100):
time.sleep(0.1) # Simulate work
counter.update()
Additionally, any part of the progress bar can be colored using counter formatting and the color
capabilities of the underlying Blessed Terminal.
import enlighten
manager = enlighten.get_manager()
# Standard bar format
std_bar_format = u'{desc}{desc_pad}{percentage:3.0f}%|{bar}| ' + \
u'{count:{len_total}d}/{total:d} ' + \
u'[{elapsed}<{eta}, {rate:.2f}{unit_pad}{unit}/s]'
# Red text
bar_format = manager.term.red(std_bar_format)
# Red on white background
bar_format = manager.term.red_on_white(std_bar_format)
# X11 colors
bar_format = manager.term.peru_on_seagreen(std_bar_format)
# RBG text
bar_format = manager.term.color_rgb(2, 5, 128)(std_bar_format)
# RBG background
bar_format = manager.term.on_color_rgb(255, 190, 195)(std_bar_format)
# RGB text and background
bar_format = manager.term.on_color_rgb(255, 190, 195)(std_bar_format)
bar_format = manager.term.color_rgb(2, 5, 128)(bar_format)
# Apply color to select parts
bar_format = manager.term.red(u'{desc}') + u'{desc_pad}' + \
manager.term.blue(u'{percentage:3.0f}%') + u'|{bar}|'
# Apply to counter
ticks = manager.counter(total=100, desc='Ticks', unit='ticks', bar_format=bar_format)
If the color option is applied to a Counter, it will override any foreground color applied.
MULTICOLORED
The bar component of a progress bar can be multicolored to track multiple categories in a single progress
bar.
The colors are drawn from right to left in the order they were added.
By default, when multicolored progress bars are used, additional fields are available for bar_format:
• count_n (int) - Current value of count
• count_0(int) - Remaining count after deducting counts for all subcounters
• count_00 (int) - Sum of counts from all subcounters
• percentage_n (float) - Percentage complete
• percentage_0(float) - Remaining percentage after deducting percentages for all subcounters
• percentage_00 (float) - Total of percentages from all subcounters
When add_subcounter() is called with all_fields set to True, the subcounter will have the additional
fields:
• eta_n (str) - Estimated time to completion
• rate_n (float) - Average increments per second since parent was created
More information about bar_format can be found in the Format section of the API.
One use case for multicolored progress bars is recording the status of a series of tests. In this
example, Failures are red, errors are white, and successes are green. The count of each is listed in the
progress bar.
import random
import time
import enlighten
bar_format = u'{desc}{desc_pad}{percentage:3.0f}%|{bar}| ' + \
u'S:{count_0:{len_total}d} ' + \
u'F:{count_2:{len_total}d} ' + \
u'E:{count_1:{len_total}d} ' + \
u'[{elapsed}<{eta}, {rate:.2f}{unit_pad}{unit}/s]'
success = enlighten.Counter(total=100, desc='Testing', unit='tests',
color='green', bar_format=bar_format)
errors = success.add_subcounter('white')
failures = success.add_subcounter('red')
while success.count < 100:
time.sleep(random.uniform(0.1, 0.3)) # Random processing time
result = random.randint(0, 10)
if result == 7:
errors.update()
if result in (5, 6):
failures.update()
else:
success.update()
A more complicated example is recording process start-up. In this case, all items will start red,
transition to yellow, and eventually all will be green. The count, percentage, rate, and eta fields are
all derived from the second subcounter added.
import random
import time
import enlighten
services = 100
bar_format = u'{desc}{desc_pad}{percentage_2:3.0f}%|{bar}|' + \
u' {count_2:{len_total}d}/{total:d} ' + \
u'[{elapsed}<{eta_2}, {rate_2:.2f}{unit_pad}{unit}/s]'
initializing = enlighten.Counter(total=services, desc='Starting', unit='services',
color='red', bar_format=bar_format)
starting = initializing.add_subcounter('yellow')
started = initializing.add_subcounter('green', all_fields=True)
while started.count < services:
remaining = services - initializing.count
if remaining:
num = random.randint(0, min(4, remaining))
initializing.update(num)
ready = initializing.count - initializing.subcount
if ready:
num = random.randint(0, min(3, ready))
starting.update_from(initializing, num)
if starting.count:
num = random.randint(0, min(2, starting.count))
started.update_from(starting, num)
time.sleep(random.uniform(0.1, 0.5)) # Random processing time

CUSTOMIZATION
Enlighten is highly configurable. For information on modifying the output, see the Series and Format
sections of the Counter documentation.
ENABLE / DISABLE
A program may want to disable progress bars based on a configuration setting as well as if output
redirection occurs.
import sys
import enlighten
# Example configuration object
config = {'stream': sys.stdout,
'useCounter': False}
enableCounter = config['useCounter'] and stream.isatty()
manager = enlighten.Manager(stream=config['stream'], enabled=enableCounter)
The get_manager() function slightly simplifies this
import enlighten
# Example configuration object
config = {'stream': None, # Defaults to sys.__stdout__
'useCounter': False}
manager = enlighten.get_manager(stream=config['stream'], enabled=config['useCounter'])
CONTEXT MANAGERS
Both Counter and Manager can be used as context managers.
import enlighten
SPLINES = 100
with enlighten.Manager() as manager:
with manager.counter(total=SPLINES, desc='Reticulating:', unit='splines') as retic:
for num in range(SPLINES + 1):
retic.update()
AUTOMATIC UPDATING
Both Counter and SubCounter instances can be called as functions on one or more iterators. A generator is
returned which yields each element of the iterables and then updates the count by 1.
NOTE:
When a Counter instance is called as a function, type checking is lazy and won't validate an iterable
was passed until iteration begins.
import time
import enlighten
flock1 = ['Harry', 'Sally', 'Randy', 'Mandy', 'Danny', 'Joe']
flock2 = ['Punchy', 'Kicky', 'Spotty', 'Touchy', 'Brenda']
total = len(flock1) + len(flock2)
manager = enlighten.Manager()
pbar = manager.counter(total=total, desc='Counting Sheep', unit='sheep')
for sheep in pbar(flock1, flock2):
time.sleep(0.2)
print('%s: Baaa' % sheep)
USER-DEFINED FIELDS
Both Counter and StatusBar accept user defined fields as keyword arguments at initialization and during
an update. These fields are persistent and only need to be specified when they change.
In the following example, source is a user-defined field that is periodically updated.
import enlighten
import random
import time
bar_format = u'{desc}{desc_pad}{source} {percentage:3.0f}%|{bar}| ' + \
u'{count:{len_total}d}/{total:d} ' + \
u'[{elapsed}<{eta}, {rate:.2f}{unit_pad}{unit}/s]'
manager = enlighten.get_manager(bar_format=bar_format)
bar = manager.counter(total=100, desc='Loading', unit='files', source='server.a')
for num in range(100):
time.sleep(0.1) # Simulate work
if not num % 5:
bar.update(source=random.choice(['server.a', 'server.b', 'server.c']))
else:
bar.update()
For more information, see the Counter Format and StatusBar Format sections.
HUMAN-READABLE NUMERIC PREFIXES
Enlighten supports automatic SI (metric) and IEC (binary) prefixes using the Prefixed library.
All rate and interval formatting fields are of the type prefixed.Float. total and all count fields
default to int. If total or or count are set to a float, or a float is provided to update(), these
fields will be prefixed.Float instead.
import time
import random
import enlighten
size = random.uniform(1.0, 10.0) * 2 ** 20 # 1-10 MiB (float)
chunk_size = 64 * 1024 # 64 KiB
bar_format = '{desc}{desc_pad}{percentage:3.0f}%|{bar}| ' \
'{count:!.2j}{unit} / {total:!.2j}{unit} ' \
'[{elapsed}<{eta}, {rate:!.2j}{unit}/s]'
manager = enlighten.get_manager()
pbar = manager.counter(total=size, desc='Downloading', unit='B', bar_format=bar_format)
bytes_left = size
while bytes_left:
time.sleep(random.uniform(0.05, 0.15))
next_chunk = min(chunk_size, bytes_left)
pbar.update(next_chunk)
bytes_left -= next_chunk
import enlighten
counter_format = 'Trying to get to sleep: {count:.2h} sheep'
counter = enlighten.Counter(counter_format=counter_format)
counter.count = 0.0
for num in range(10000000):
counter.update()
For more information, see the Counter Format and the Prefixed documentation.
WHY IS ENLIGHTEN CALLED ENLIGHTEN?
A progress bar's purpose is to inform the user about an ongoing process. Enlighten, meaning "to inform",
seems a fitting name. (Plus any names related to progress were already taken)
IS WINDOWS SUPPORTED?
Enlighten has supported Windows since version 1.3.0.
Windows does not currently support resizing.
Enlighten also works relatively well in Linux-like subsystems for Windows such as Cygwin or Windows
Subsystem for Linux.
IS JUPYTER NOTEBOOKS SUPPORTED?
Experimental support for Jupyter notebooks was added in version 1.10.0.
Jupyter Notebook support is provide by the NotebookManager class. If running inside a Jupyter Notebook,
get_manager() will return a NotebookManager instance.
There is currently no support for detecting the width of a Jupyter notebook so output width has been set
statically to 100 characters. This can be overridden by passing the width keyword argument to
get_manager().
IS PYCHARM SUPPORTED?
PyCharm uses multiple consoles and the behavior differs depending on how the code is called.
Enlighten works natively in the PyCharm command terminal.
To use Enlighten with Run or Debug, terminal emulation must be enabled. Navigate to Run -> Edit
Configurations -> Templates -> Python and select Emulate terminal in output console.
The PyCharm Python console is currently not supported because sys.stdout does not reference a valid TTY.
CAN YOU ADD SUPPORT FOR _______ TERMINAL?
We are happy to add support for as many terminals as we can. However, not all terminals can be
supported. There a few requirements.
1. The terminal must be detectable programmatically
We need to be able to identify the terminal in some reasonable way and differentiate it from
other terminals. This could be through environment variables, the platform module, or some
other method.
2. A subset of terminal codes must be supported
While these codes may vary among terminals, the capability must be provided and activated by
printing a terminal sequence. The required codes are listed below.
• move / CUP - Cursor Position
• hide_cursor / DECTCEM - Text Cursor Enable Mode
• show_cursor / DECTCEM - Text Cursor Enable Mode
• csr / DECSTBM - Set Top and Bottom Margins
• clear_eos / ED - Erase in Display
• clear_eol / EL - Erase in Line
• feed / CUD - Cursor Down (Or scroll with linefeed)
3. Terminal dimensions must be detectable
The height and width of the terminal must be available to the running process.
WHY DOES RUNTIMEERROR: REENTRANT CALL GET RAISED SOMETIMES DURING A RESIZE?
This is caused when another thread or process is writing to a standard stream (STDOUT, STDERR) at the
same time the resize signal handler is writing to the stream.
Enlighten tries to detect when a program is threaded or running multiple processes and defer resize
handling until the next normal write event. However, this condition is evaluated when the scroll area is
set, typically when the first counter is added. If no threads or processes are detected at that time, and
the value of threaded was not set explicitly, resize events will not be deferred.
In order to guarantee resize handling is deferred, it is best to pass threaded=True when creating a
manager instance.
WHY DOES THE OUTPUT DISAPPEAR AT THE END OF A NOTEBOOK CELL IN VSCODE?
This is caused by a bug in the VSCode Jupyter extension that reverts display updates at the end of a
cell. This issue has been confirmed by the maintainers, but a fix has not been released yet.
As a temporary workaround, manager._primed = False at the end of the cell before calling stop(). Note,
this will result in double output in other environments so should only be used if the display is cleared
first or the code is limited to running in this extension.
CLASSES
class enlighten.Manager(stream=None, counter_class=Counter, **kwargs)
Parameters
• stream (file object) -- Output stream. If None, defaults to sys.__stdout__
• status_bar_class (class) -- Status bar class (Default: StatusBar)
• counter_class (class) -- Progress bar class (Default: Counter)
• set_scroll (bool) -- Enable scroll area redefinition (Default: True)
• companion_stream (file object) -- See companion_stream below. (Default: None)
• enabled (bool) -- Status (Default: True)
• no_resize (bool) -- Disable resizing support
• threaded (bool) -- When True resize handling is deferred until next write (Default: False
unless multiple threads or multiple processes are detected)
• width (int) -- Static output width. If unset, terminal width is determined dynamically
• kwargs (Dict[str, Any]) -- Any additional keyword arguments will be used as default
values when counter() is called.
Manager class for outputting progress bars to streams attached to TTYs
Progress bars are displayed at the bottom of the screen with standard output displayed above.
companion_stream
A companion stream is a file object that shares a TTY with the primary output stream. The
cursor position in the companion stream will be moved in coordination with the primary stream.
If the value is None, the companion stream will be dynamically determined. Unless explicitly
specified, a stream which is not attached to a TTY (the case when redirected to a file), will
not be used as a companion stream.
counter(position=None, **kwargs)
Parameters
• position (int) -- Line number counting from the bottom of the screen
• autorefresh (bool) -- Refresh this counter when other bars are drawn
• replace (PrintableCounter) -- Replace given counter with new. Position ignored.
• kwargs (Dict[str, Any]) -- Any additional keyword arguments are passed to Counter
Returns
Instance of counter class
Return type
Counter
Get a new progress bar instance
If position is specified, the counter's position will be pinned. A ValueError will be
raised if position exceeds the screen height or has already been pinned by another counter.
If autorefresh is True, this bar will be redrawn whenever another bar is drawn assuming it
had been min_delta seconds since the last update. This is usually unnecessary.
NOTE:
Counters are not automatically drawn when created because fields may be missing if
subcounters are used. To force the counter to draw before updating, call refresh().
status_bar(*args, **kwargs)
Parameters
• position (int) -- Line number counting from the bottom of the screen
• autorefresh (bool) -- Refresh this counter when other bars are drawn
• replace (PrintableCounter) -- Replace given counter with new. Position ignored.
• kwargs (Dict[str, Any]) -- Any additional keyword arguments are passed to
StatusBar
Returns
Instance of status bar class
Return type
StatusBar
Get a new status bar instance
If position is specified, the counter's position can change dynamically if additional
counters are called without a position argument.
If autorefresh is True, this bar will be redrawn whenever another bar is drawn assuming it
had been min_delta seconds since the last update. Generally, only need when elapsed is used
in status_format.
stop() Clean up and reset terminal
This method should be called when the manager and counters will no longer be needed.
Any progress bars that have leave set to True or have not been closed will remain on the
console. All others will be cleared.
Manager and all counters will be disabled.
class enlighten.NotebookManager(stream=None, counter_class=Counter, **kwargs)
Parameters
• counter_class (class) -- Progress bar class (Default: Counter)

If position is specified, the counter's position will be pinned. A ValueError will be
raised if position exceeds the screen height or has already been pinned by another counter.
If autorefresh is True, this bar will be redrawn whenever another bar is drawn assuming it
had been min_delta seconds since the last update. This is usually unnecessary.
NOTE:
Counters are not automatically drawn when created because fields may be missing if
subcounters are used. To force the counter to draw before updating, call refresh().

• min_delta (float) -- Minimum time, in seconds, between refreshes (Default: 0.1)
• offset (int) -- Number of non-printable characters to account for when formatting
• series (sequence) -- Progression series, see Series below
• stream (file object) -- Output stream. Not used when instantiated through a manager
• total (int) -- Total count when complete
• unit (str) -- Unit label
Progress bar and counter class
A Counter instance can be created with the Manager.counter() method or, when a standalone progress
bar for simple applications is required, the Counter class can be called directly. The output
stream will default to sys.__stdout__ unless stream is set.
NOTE:
With the default values for bar_format and counter_format, floats can not be used for total,
count, or provided to update(). In order to use floats, provide custom formats to bar_format
and counter_format. See Format below.
Series
The progress bar is constructed from the characters in series. series must be a sequence (str,
list, tuple) containing single characters.
Default progress series (series):
' ▏▎▍▌▋▊▉█'
The first character is the fill character. When the count is 0, the bar will be made up of only
this character. In the example below, characters 5 through 9 are fill characters.
The last character is the full character. When the count is equal to total, the bar will be
made up of only this character. In the example below, characters 0 through 3 are full
characters.
The remaining characters are fractional characters used to more accurately represent the
transition between the full and fill characters. In the example below, character 4 is a
fractional character.
'45% |████▋ |'
'0123456789'
Series Color
The characters specified by series will be displayed in the terminal's current foreground
color. This can be overwritten with the color argument.
color can be specified as None, a string or, an iterable of three integers, 0 - 255, describing
an RGB color.
For backward compatibility, a color can be expressed as an integer 0 - 255, but this is
deprecated in favor of named or RGB colors.
Compound colors, such as 'white_on_seagreen', 'bold_red', or 'underline_on_peru' are also
supported.
If a terminal is not capable of 24-bit color, and is given a color outside of its range, the
color will be downconverted to a supported color.
Valid colors for 8 color terminals:
• black
• blue
• cyan
• green
• magenta
• red
• white
• yellow
Additional colors for 16 color terminals:
• bright_black
• bright_blue
• bright_cyan
• bright_green
• bright_magenta
• bright_red
• bright_white
• bright_yellow
See this chart for a complete list of supported color strings.
NOTE:
If an invalid color is specified, an AttributeError will be raised
Format
If total is None or count becomes higher than total, the counter format will be used instead of
the progress bar format.
Default counter format (counter_format):
'{desc}{desc_pad}{count:d} {unit}{unit_pad}{elapsed}, {rate:.2f}{unit_pad}{unit}/s]{fill}'
# Example output
'Loaded 30042 Files [00:01, 21446.45 Files/s] '
Default progress bar format (bar_format):
'{desc}{desc_pad}{percentage:3.0f}%|{bar}| {count:{len_total}d}/{total:d} [{elapsed}<{eta}, {rate:.2f}{unit_pad}{unit}/s]'
# Example output
'Processing 22%|█████▊ | 23/101 [00:27<01:32, 0.84 Files/s]'
Available fields:
• count(int) - Current value of count
• desc(str) - Value of desc
• desc_pad(str) - A single space if desc is set, otherwise empty
• elapsed(str) - Time elapsed since instance was created
• interval(prefixed.Float) - Average seconds per iteration (inverse of rate)
• rate(prefixed.Float) - Average iterations per second since instance was created
• total(int) - Value of total
• unit(str) - Value of unit
• unit_pad(str) - A single space if unit is set, otherwise empty
Additional fields for bar_format only:
• bar(str) - Progress bar draw with characters from series
• eta(str) - Estimated time to completion
• len_total(int) - Length of total when converted to a string
• percentage(float) - Percentage complete
Additional fields for counter_format only:
• fill(str) - Filled with fill until line is width of terminal. May be used multiple times.
Minimum width is 3.
Additional fields when subcounters are used:
• count_n(int) - Current value of count
• count_0(int) - Remaining count after deducting counts for all subcounters
• count_00(int) - Sum of counts from all subcounters
• interval_0(prefixed.Float) - Average seconds per non-subcounter iteration (inverse of rate_0)
• interval_00(prefixed.Float) - Average seconds per iteration for all subcounters (inverse of
rate_00)
• percentage_n(float) - Percentage complete (bar_format only)
• percentage_0(float) - Remaining percentage after deducting percentages for all subcounters
(bar_format only)
• percentage_00(float) - Total of percentages from all subcounters
• rate_0(prefixed.Float) - Average iterations per second excluding subcounters since instance
was created
• rate_00(prefixed.Float) - Average iterations per second of all subcounters since instance was
created
NOTE:
n denotes the order the subcounter was added starting at 1. For example, count_1 is the
count for the first subcounter added and count_2 is the count for the second subcounter
added.
Additional fields when add_subcounter() is called with all_fields set to True:
• eta_n (str) - Estimated time to completion (bar_format only)
• interval_n(prefixed.Float) - Average seconds per iteration (inverse of rate)
• rate_n (prefixed.Float) - Average iterations per second since parent was created
NOTE:
count and total fields, including count_0, count_00, and count_n, default to int. If total
or or count are set to a float, or a float is provided to update(), these fields will be
prefixed.Float instead.
This allows additional format specifiers using SI (metric) and IEC (binary) prefixes. See
the Prefixed documentation for more details.
This will also require a custom format and affect the accuracy of the len_total field.
User-defined fields:
Users can define fields in two ways, the fields parameter and by passing keyword arguments
to Manager.counter() or Counter.update()
The fields parameter can be used to pass a dictionary of additional user-defined fields.
The dictionary values can be updated after initialization to allow for dynamic fields. Any
fields that share names with built-in fields are ignored.
If fields are passed as keyword arguments to Manager.counter() or Counter.update(), they
take precedent over the fields parameter.
Offset
When offset is None, the width of the bar portion of the progress bar and the fill size for
counter will be automatically determined, taking into account terminal escape sequences that
may be included in the string.
Under special circumstances, and to permit backward compatibility, offset may be explicitly set
to an int value. When explicitly set, automatic detection of escape sequences is disabled.

property subcount
Sum of counts from all subcounters
update(incr=1, force=False, **fields)
Parameters
• incr (int) -- Amount to increment count (Default: 1)
• force (bool) -- Force refresh even if min_delta has not been reached
• fields (dict) -- Fields for for formatting
Increment progress bar and redraw
Progress bar is only redrawn if min_delta seconds past since the last update
class enlighten.StatusBar(*args, **kwargs)
Parameters
• enabled (bool) -- Status (Default: True)
• color (str) -- Color as a string or RGB tuple see Status Color
• fields (dict) -- Additional fields used for formating
• fill (str) -- Fill character used in formatting and justifying text (Default: ' ')
• justify (str) -- One of Justify.CENTER, Justify.LEFT, Justify.RIGHT
• leave (True) -- Leave status bar after closing (Default: True)
• min_delta (float) -- Minimum time, in seconds, between refreshes (Default: 0.1)
• status_format (str) -- Status bar format, see Format
Status bar class
A StatusBar instance should be created with the Manager.status_bar() method.
Status Color
Color works similarly to color on Counter, except it affects the entire status bar. See Series
Color for more information.
Format
There are two ways to populate the status bar, direct and formatted. Direct takes precedence over
formatted.
Direct Status
Direct status is used when arguments are passed to Manager.status_bar() or StatusBar.update(). Any
arguments are coerced to strings and joined with a space. For example:
status_bar.update('Hello', 'World!')
# Example output: Hello World!
status_bar.update('Hello World!')
# Example output: Hello World!
count = [1, 2, 3, 4]
status_bar.update(*count)
# Example output: 1 2 3 4
Formatted Status
Formatted status uses the format specified in the status_format parameter to populate the
status bar.
'Current Stage: {stage}'
# Example output
'Current Stage: Testing'
Available fields:
• elapsed(str) - Time elapsed since instance was created
• fill(str) - Filled with fill until line is width of terminal. May be used multiple
times. Minimum width is 3.
NOTE:
The status bar is only updated when StatusBar.update() or StatusBar.refresh() is called, so
fields like elapsed will need additional calls to appear dynamic.
User-defined fields:
Users can define fields in two ways, the fields parameter and by passing keyword arguments
to Manager.status_bar() or StatusBar.update()
The fields parameter can be used to pass a dictionary of additional user-defined fields.
The dictionary values can be updated after initialization to allow for dynamic fields. Any
fields that share names with available fields are ignored.
If fields are passed as keyword arguments to Manager.status_bar() or StatusBar.update(),
they take precedent over the fields parameter.

Returns
Formatted status bar
Return type
str

class enlighten.SubCounter(parent, color=None, count=0, all_fields=False)
A child counter for multicolored progress bars.
This class tracks a portion of multicolored progress bar and should be initialized through
Counter.add_subcounter()

count int - Current count
parent Counter - Parent counter
update(incr=1, force=False)
Parameters
• incr (int) -- Amount to increment count (Default: 1)
• force (bool) -- Force refresh even if min_delta has not been reached
Increment progress bar and redraw
Both this counter and the parent are incremented.
Progress bar is only redrawn if min_delta seconds past since the last update on the parent.
update_from(source, incr=1, force=False)
Parameters
• source (SubCounter) -- SubCounter or Counter to increment from
• incr (int) -- Amount to increment count (Default: 1)
• force (bool) -- Force refresh even if min_delta has not been reached
Move a value to this counter from another counter.
source must be the parent Counter instance or a SubCounter with the same parent
FUNCTIONS
enlighten.get_manager(stream=None, counter_class=Counter, **kwargs)
Parameters
• stream (file object) -- Output stream. If None, defaults to sys.__stdout__
• counter_class (class) -- Progress bar class (Default: Counter)
• kwargs (Dict[str, Any]) -- Any additional keyword arguments will passed to the manager
class.
Returns
Manager instance
Return type
Manager
Convenience function to get a manager instance
If running inside a notebook, a NotebookManager instance is returned. otherwise a standard Manager
instance is returned.
If a a standard Manager instance is used and stream is not attached to a TTY, the Manager instance
is disabled.
CONSTANTS
class enlighten.Justify
Enumerated type for justification options
CENTER Justify center
LEFT Justify left

Enlighten Progress Bar is a console progress bar library for Python.
The main advantage of Enlighten is it allows writing to stdout and stderr without any redirection or
additional code. Just print or log as you normally would.
Enlighten also includes experimental support for Jupyter Notebooks.
The code for this animation can be found in demo.py in examples.
