Python wget module doesn't show progress bar

Question

I am trying to download files in python using the wget module. I understand that it's supposed to have several progress bar modes but non actually show in the console.

I could not find any documentation for this module.

import wget
from pathlib import Path

print('Beginning download...')

url = 'https://storage.googleapis.com/meirtvmp3/archive/hebrew/mp3/sherki/daattvunot/idx_69115.mp3'
wget.download(url)

The file downloads but no progress bar shows.

The source code for the module does have a reference to it. But when I try it in my code python cant find a reference to it.

EDIT

I tested the script from the terminal and it worked as expected. I guess it's a pycharm/venv bug.

Answer 1

This works for me,

#create this bar_progress method which is invoked automatically from wget
def bar_progress(current, total, width=80):
  progress_message = "Downloading: %d%% [%d / %d] bytes" % (current / total * 100, current, total)
  # Don't use print() as it will print in new line every time.
  sys.stdout.write("\r" + progress_message)
  sys.stdout.flush()

#Now use this like below,
url = 'http://url_to_download'
save_path = "/home/save.file"
wget.download(url, save_path, bar=bar_progress)
