I need a progress to show during file download for Python 3.
I have seen a few topics on Stackoverflow, but considering that I'm a noob at programming and nobody posted a complete example, just fractions of it, or the one that I can make work on Python 3, none are good for me...
additional info:
ok, so i have this:
from urllib.request import urlopen
import configparser
#checks for files which need to be downloaded
print(' Downloading...')
file = urlopen(file_url)
#progress bar here
output = open('downloaded_file.py','wb')
output.write(file.read())
output.close()
os.system('downloaded_file.py')
script is run through python command line
There is urlretrieve()
that downloads an url to a file and allows to specify a reporthook callback to report progess:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
from urllib.request import urlretrieve
def reporthook(blocknum, blocksize, totalsize):
readsofar = blocknum * blocksize
if totalsize > 0:
percent = readsofar * 1e2 / totalsize
s = "\r%5.1f%% %*d / %d" % (
percent, len(str(totalsize)), readsofar, totalsize)
sys.stderr.write(s)
if readsofar >= totalsize: # near the end
sys.stderr.write("\n")
else: # total size is unknown
sys.stderr.write("read %d\n" % (readsofar,))
urlretrieve(url, 'downloaded_file.py', reporthook)
Here's a GUI progress bar:
import sys
from threading import Event, Thread
from tkinter import Tk, ttk
from urllib.request import urlretrieve
def download(url, filename):
root = progressbar = quit_id = None
ready = Event()
def reporthook(blocknum, blocksize, totalsize):
nonlocal quit_id
if blocknum == 0: # started downloading
def guiloop():
nonlocal root, progressbar
root = Tk()
root.withdraw() # hide
progressbar = ttk.Progressbar(root, length=400)
progressbar.grid()
# show progress bar if the download takes more than .5 seconds
root.after(500, root.deiconify)
ready.set() # gui is ready
root.mainloop()
Thread(target=guiloop).start()
ready.wait(1) # wait until gui is ready
percent = blocknum * blocksize * 1e2 / totalsize # assume totalsize > 0
if quit_id is None:
root.title('%%%.0f %s' % (percent, filename,))
progressbar['value'] = percent # report progress
if percent >= 100: # finishing download
quit_id = root.after(0, root.destroy) # close GUI
return urlretrieve(url, filename, reporthook)
download(url, 'downloaded_file.py')
On Python 3.3 urlretrieve()
has different reporthook
interface (see issue 16409). To workaround it, you could access the previous interface via FancyURLopener
:
from urllib.request import FancyURLopener
urlretrieve = FancyURLopener().retrieve
To update the progress bar within the same thread, you could inline urlretrieve()
code:
from tkinter import Tk, ttk
from urllib.request import urlopen
def download2(url, filename):
response = urlopen(url)
totalsize = int(response.headers['Content-Length']) # assume correct header
outputfile = open(filename, 'wb')
def download_chunk(readsofar=0, chunksize=1 << 13):
# report progress
percent = readsofar * 1e2 / totalsize # assume totalsize > 0
root.title('%%%.0f %s' % (percent, filename,))
progressbar['value'] = percent
# download chunk
data = response.read(chunksize)
if not data: # finished downloading
outputfile.close()
root.destroy() # close GUI
else:
outputfile.write(data) # save to filename
# schedule to download the next chunk
root.after(0, download_chunk, readsofar + len(data), chunksize)
# setup GUI to show progress
root = Tk()
root.withdraw() # hide
progressbar = ttk.Progressbar(root, length=400)
progressbar.grid()
# show progress bar if the download takes more than .5 seconds
root.after(500, root.deiconify)
root.after(0, download_chunk)
root.mainloop()
download2(url, 'downloaded_file.py')
I think this piece of code can help you. I'm not quite sure it's exactly what you want. At least it should give you something to work on.
import tkinter
from tkinter import ttk
from urllib.request import urlopen
def download(event):
file = urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
output = open('downloaded_file.txt', 'wb')
lines= file.readlines()
i = len(lines)
for line in lines:
output.write(line)
pbar.step(100/i)
output.close()
file.close()
root = tkinter.Tk()
root.title('Download bar')
pbar = ttk.Progressbar(root, length=300)
pbar.pack(padx=5, pady=5)
btn = tkinter.Button(root, text="Download")
# bind to left mouse button click
btn.bind("<Button-1>", download)
btn.pack(pady=10)
root.mainloop()
This works, I've tried it.
