Here is an example of using multiprocessing (which is included in Python 2.6 and easy_installable in older Python versions) to print a spin bar while a computation is running: import sys, time import multiprocessing DELAY = 0.1 DISPLAY = [ '|', '/', '-', '\\' ] def spinner_func(before='', after=''): write, flush = sys.stdout.write, sys.stdout.flush pos = -1 while True: pos = (pos + 1) % len(DISPLAY) msg = before + DISPLAY[pos] + after write(msg); flush() write('\x08' * len(msg)) time.sleep(DELAY) def long_computation(): # emulate a long computation time.sleep(3) if __name__ == '__main__': spinner = multiprocessing.Process( None, spinner_func, args=('Please wait ... ', '')) spinner.start() try: long_computation() print 'Computation done' finally: spinner.terminate() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
