Progress counting tracking python

counting.py

import time
some_list = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
counter = 0
for file in some_list:
    counter += 1
    percent = round((counter/len(some_list))*100, 2)
    message = "==== Progress: " + str(percent) + "% ===="
    if percent < 100:
        # this line ending and buffer-flush allow us to re-write over this line again
        print(message, end='\r', flush=True)
    else:
        # once we reach 100%, we won't want to rewrite the line again
        print(message)
    time.sleep(1.5)

# prints on its own line
print("done :)")
