Feature: multilevel progressbar

[lig]

It would be great to be able to wrap several nested iterables like

for i in progressbar.progressbar(range(20)):
    for j in progressbar.progressbar(range(5)):
        time.sleep(0.1)

As for now this results in multiple progress bars appearing one after another. It could look like this instead

20% (1 of 5) |#####                     | Elapsed Time: 0:00:02 ETA:   0:00:03
30% (6 of 20) |#####                    | Elapsed Time: 0:01:02 ETA:   0:06:01

Also, it looks like this could be a possible step on the way to that one #176

It's indeed very similar to #176 and I'm guessing the solution will be the same. Although the threading versions might take slightly more effort.

It's been on my to-do list for a while but it's going to be a bit of work to do it right.

Not quite the same, but I implemented a multi-bar: #208

@paulo-raca it looks like something that solves it and even looks gorgeous. Thanks for your work!

[lig]

@wolph I'm happy with #208.

Feel free to close this one if it looks redundant to you now.

I love the multibar hack but I still think there is a need for a good multi progressbar solution. There are several limitations to this implementation which makes it hard/impractical to use in some cases.

That doesn't make this any less useful, it could be an addition to this feature. Once the multiple progressbars are working this one could be the "global" progressbar between them :)
