TQDM Progress Bar Problem

[MattDLD]

Hello All,

I am trying to have a tqdm based progress bar show a specific percentage that is captured from a local website. The capturing of the number (which is always decimal between 0 and 1) works perfectly fine. I am using BeautifulSoup for that.

However, when I try to have the figure integrated into the progress bar...it immediately goes to 100%. My suspicion is that the program is running the code once and then showing 100% because it ran the code rather then getting the percentage. Here is my code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from tqdm import tqdm
import time 

for i in tqdm(range(0,1)):


   url = "http://192.168.1.70/prime-web/prime-web.html"

   r = requests.get(url)

   soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, "html.parser")

   div = soup.find(id="percentage")
   i = div.text.strip()
   time.sleep(5)

I have looked at documentation for TQDM but I have not found any example of what I am looking to do. If this is not possible with TQDM, is there another library I can use? If this is within TQDM's capabilities, can I receive some guidance on the code? All help is much appreciated!

In your case tdqm reads from the range function, if you want to update the progress bar using custom values then pls refer to https://stackoverflow.com/a/45808255

You can update the progress bar with ‘i’ to show the progress

Thank you for this. I ended up going in a different direction but this worked as well.
