Click Spinner

Sometimes you would just like to show the user some progress, but a progress bar is not suitable because you don’t know how much longer it would take. In these cases you might want to display a simple spinner using the spinner() function.

Example usage:

with click_spinner.spinner():
        do_something()
        do_something_else()

It looks like this:

Printing (or writing) to stdout while a spinner is active will interleave with the spinner animation and look garbled. Prefer logging to stderr, or stop the spinner before printing. See issue #42.
