Adding a progress bar to gdal.Translate()

Similar to Adding Progress Bar to gdal.Warp() but for python 3. How to add a progress bar to gdal.Translate() in a python script?

Solution

  • Turns out theres a callback function provided with the gdal python bindings called TermProgress_nocb.

    Example:

    # gdal_translate with progressbar
_ = gdal.Translate(
    *args, 
    callback=gdal.TermProgress_nocb,
    **kwargs,
)

# Write output to disc
_ = None

    Prints:

    0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.
