Python: printProgressBar function with autoresize option
# This version of the printProgressBar function implements an optional autoresize argument.
# It has been updated from a previous version to use the shutil Python module to determine
# the terminal size. This update should allow it to work on most operating systems and does
# speed up the autosize feature quite a bit – though it still slows things down quite a bit.
# For more robust features, it's recommended you use a progress bar library like tdqm (see: https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm)
def printProgressBar (iteration, total, prefix = '', suffix = '', decimals = 1, length = 100, fill = '█', autosize = False):
"""
Call in a loop to create terminal progress bar
@params:
iteration - Required : current iteration (Int)
total - Required : total iterations (Int)
prefix - Optional : prefix string (Str)
suffix - Optional : suffix string (Str)
decimals - Optional : positive number of decimals in percent complete (Int)
length - Optional : character length of bar (Int)
fill - Optional : bar fill character (Str)
autosize - Optional : automatically resize the length of the progress bar to the terminal window (Bool)
