Different display in different places (system compatibility)

code

from alive_progress import alive_bar;import time

with alive_bar(1000) as bar:
    for i in range(1000):

        if i %100 ==0:
            print('found')
        time.sleep(0.01)
        bar()

Hey @wcmiracle, those are not problems, just different platforms, with different behaviors. Linux is the standard one, it just works.

Windows has a bug that ANSI escape codes do not work by default, to make they work you have to:

import os
os.system('')

(In the soon-to-be-released 2.0 this is sent automatically)

PyCharm do not emulate complete terminals, it isn't interactive. So you have to both:

1. Enable this in your run configuration:
2. Send force_tty=True to alive_bar.

Ok? That should make those all work as expected 👍

Thank you very much for answering my confusion, I prefer progress to tqdm and hope you can make it very good.

Great, you're welcome!
