Partial Unicode blocks progress bar in python

progress.py

def progress(percent, width=20, blocks=['', '▏','▎','▍','▌','▋','▊','▉','█']):
    return '{:<{width}}'.format(int(min(percent, 1) * width) * blocks[-1] +
                                blocks[int(min(percent, 1) * width * len(blocks) % len(blocks))], width=width) 

Or, if your terminal can't handle utf-8:

if not sys.stdout.encoding.lower().startswith('utf')

consider:

blocks=['', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '#']
