ProgressBar.__call__ always calls __len__ even when maxval is already specified #10

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
ProgressBar.__call__ also only expects TypeError to be raised as a result of 
calling __len__, when in fact other errors are seen to be raised (e.g. on a 
csv.DictReader this raises an AttributeError). But in general it would be nice 
if there were a (non-hacky) way to force a maxval onto a ProgressBar, 
regardless of the iteratee's len.

The changes have been merged, and although it will *try* to determine the 
length of the iterable it will fall back to the max value you specified or if 
unspecified it will be marked as "unknown" (this means that you must use 
widgets which do not need to know the max length: timers, counters, labels, 
action bars, etc)
