I use this tecnique to make a progress bar in the console.
You just need to understand, that a progress bar is a 
cross-multiplication http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-multiplication.

import sys, time

def progressbar(value, total):
     maspro = (100*value) / total
     sys.stdout.write('\r[%s]%d%%' % ('#'*(maspro/10), maspro))
     sys.stdout.flush()

for a in range(1, 1000):
     progressbar(a, 100)
     time.sleep(2)


You can't combine your progress bar with threading module
