<p>I use to deal with large files under the console (copying iso images, videos) but cp doesn't display much informations. Few days ago i read <a class="reference" href="http://www.mechanicalcat.net/richard/log/Python/Progress_display">a post from Richard Jones</a> who wrote a very nice iterator aimed to display ETA informations about tasks on the console. So, here comes <a class="reference" href="http://svn.pythonfr.org/public/pythonfr/utils/misc/progressCopy.py">progressCopy.py</a>.</p> <p>Though it's not as powerfull as GNU CP, it performs everyday tasks like copying, moving files or directories around with ETA informations :) Enjoy the console !</p> http://base-art.net/Articles/26/
