Feature request: Progress bar about amico HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @lconcha, thanks for the suggestion!
Actually, I had tried some time ago to add a progress bar, but I was never able to "go back" by some characters (to update the bar) once I wrote in the output. Do you know how to do it?

Also, I would prefer to avoid any external package, if possible, to make the tool independent from other software/scripts (like in this case).
If you can suggest any way to implement it, I would love to add it straightaway! Or perhaps you can do it and contribute to AMICO! :)

PS: we recently made some modifications to the structure of the framework, for being a bit more modular. In the future, the plan is to implement AMICO in Python in the dipy library as well. With respect to this, I planned to add some additional modification in the next few days to make this transition smoother.

The trick is to repeat an empty string. It is not my idea, I got it from here:

I do not feel confident enough with git to actually modify code, but give me a little time...

Cheers,

Luis

I implemented the progress bar according to your suggestion (see commit 4e4bfae). I hope this is what you had in mind?

Beautiful, and elegantly coded. Thank you for implementing it so quickly!
