        A lightweight and flexible Python decorator to show a console animation (loading animation) while a function is running. Useful for long-running CLI tasks, data processing, I/O, or just making your tools feel more alive.

        ## 🔧 Features

        - Customizable animation style and speed
        - Gracefully handles exceptions
        - Works with or without decorator arguments
        - Clean terminal output (hides cursor during spin)

        ## 🚀 Usage
        
        ### ✅ Basic animation (no args)
        
        ```python
        from console_animation import animate
        
        @animate
        def task():
            import time
            time.sleep(3)
        ```
        
        This will show a rotating animation while `task()` runs.
        
        ---
        
        ### ⚙️ With Custom Messages
        
        ```python
        @animate(start="Processing...", loaded="✅ Task complete!", error="❌ Something broke.")
        def do_work():
            time.sleep(5)
        ```
        
        * `start` – message shown before animation
        * `loaded` or `end` – message shown after successful run
        * `error` – message shown if exception occurs
        
        ---
        
        ### 🎯 Custom animation and Speed
        
        ```python
        @animate(spinner="⠋⠙⠚⠞⠖⠦⠴⠲⠳⠓", interval=0.05)
        def fancy_task():
            time.sleep(3)
        ```
        
        * `spinner`: any iterable of characters
        * `interval`: time (in seconds) between frames
        
        ---
        
        ### ❗ Error Handling
        
        If `error` is not provided:
        
        * The animation will stop
        * Cursor will be restored
        * The original exception is raised **as-is**
        
        If `error` is set:
        
        * It will be printed
        * Full traceback is also printed for debugging

        ## 🧪 Example Script
        
        ```python
        from console_animation import animate
        import time
        
        @animate(start="Crunching numbers...", loaded="✅ Done!", error="🔥 Failed.")
        def math_task():
            time.sleep(3)
        
        @animate
        def quick_task():
            time.sleep(1)
        
        @animate(start="Breaking...", error="Oops.")
        def will_fail():
            raise RuntimeError("Intentional failure.")
        
        math_task()
        quick_task()
        will_fail()
        ```
