year-remaining

A python script that generates a progress bar and percentage of time left in the year.

Using the script

In a Zapier code action

The primary intent of this script is to be used in a Python code action in Zapier, which is why it has a very specific output variable format. Follow these steps in Zapier:

• Add a Code action to your Zap, and select the "Run Python" option. The script requires no configuration of "Input Data" values.
• Paste the script into the Code field, then test the action.
• Once complete, any action that follows will have access to the progress bar text.

Customize the accessible values by adding elements to the dictionary contained in the output variable.

From the command line

Execute the script from the command line to get an output of the progress bar and percentage text.
