Alternative progress bar: >>> wget.download(url, bar=bar_thermometer) ChangeLog ========= 3.2 (2015-10-22) * download(url) can again be unicode on Python 2.7 https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-wget/issues/8 3.1 (2015-10-18) * it saves unknown files under download.wget filename https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-wget/issues/6 * it prints unicode chars to Windows console * it downloads unicode urls with Python 3 3.0 (2015-10-17) * it can download and save unicode filenames https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-wget/issues/7 2.2 (2014-07-19) * it again can download without -o option 2.1 (2014-07-10) * it shows command line help * -o option allows to select output file/directory * download(url, out, bar) contains out parameter 2.0 (2013-04-26) * it shows percentage * it has usage examples * it changes if being used as a library * download shows progress bar by default * bar_adaptive gets improved algorithm * download(url, bar) contains bar parameter * bar(current, total) * progress_callback is named callback_progress 1.0 (2012-11-13) * it runs with Python 3 0.9 (2012-11-13) * it renames file if it already exists * it can be used as a library * download(url) returns filename * bar_adaptive() draws progress bar * bar_thermometer() simplified bar 0.8 (2011-05-03) * it detects filename from HTTP headers 0.7 (2011-03-01) * compatibility fix for Python 2.5 * limit width of progress bar to 100 chars 0.6 (2010-04-24) * it detects console width on POSIX 0.5 (2010-04-23) * it detects console width on Windows 0.4 (2010-04-15) * it shows cute progress bar 0.3 (2010-04-05) * it creates temp file in current dir 0.2 (2010-02-16) * it tries to detect filename from URL 0.1 (2010-02-04) * it can download file Release Checklist ================= | [ ] update version in wget.py | [x] update description in setup.py | [ ] python setup.py check -mrs | [ ] python setup.py sdist upload | [ ] tag hg version -- anatoly techtonik
