Hi,
        
How can I add a tkinter progress bar in python 3.2 to start before a loop and 
end after it. I am looking for a very simple solution.

def MyFunc():
Start progress bar

for fileName in fileList:
…

End progress bar


1. There is a progress bar widget in ttk. At the beginning, you set maximum to the number of files in your list

2. In the loop, you set "value" of the progressbar to the current file number. You can also attach a variable

3. The bar is only redrawn when you process events. The simplest way to do this is by calling update() on the progress bar, which processes all pending events. Despite of it looking like a method, update() is really a global function within Tcl and updates all widgets in your interface. You must make sure, therefore, that the user does not trigger another event which interferes with your download, such as pressing the button for starting it again. The easiest way is to disable the button at the begin and reenable it at the end.

4. If processing of a single file takes a long time, the only way to have the GUI responsive is to put the work in a background thread. That seems to be more involved.
