ubelt.progiter module

A Progress Iterator

ProgIter lets you measure and print the progress of an iterative process. This can be done either via an iterable interface or using the manual API. Using the iterable interface is most common.

ProgIter was originally developed independently of tqdm, but the newer versions of this library have been designed to be compatible with tqdm-API. ProgIter is now a (mostly) drop-in alternative to tqdm.tqdm(). The tqdm library may be more appropriate in some cases. The main advantage of :class:`ProgIter` is that it does not use any python threading, and therefore can be safer with code that makes heavy use of multiprocessing. The reason for this is that threading before forking may cause locks to be duplicated across processes, which may lead to deadlocks.

ProgIter is simpler than tqdm, which may be desirable for some applications. However, this also means ProgIter is not as extensible as tqdm. If you want a pretty bar or need something fancy, use tqdm; if you want useful information about your iteration by default, use progiter.

The basic usage of ProgIter is simple and intuitive. Just wrap a python iterable. The following example wraps a range iterable and prints reported progress to stdout as the iterable is consumed.

Example

>>> for n in ProgIter(range(1000)):
>>>     # do some work
>>>     pass

Note that by default ProgIter reports information about iteration-rate, fraction-complete, estimated time remaining, time taken so far, and the current wall time.

Example

>>> # xdoctest: +IGNORE_WANT
>>> def is_prime(n):
...     return n >= 2 and not any(n % i == 0 for i in range(2, n))
>>> for n in ProgIter(range(1000), verbose=1):
>>>     # do some work
>>>     is_prime(n)
1000/1000... rate=114326.51 Hz, eta=0:00:00, total=0:00:00

For more complex applications is may sometimes be desirable to manually use the ProgIter API. This is done as follows:

Example

>>> # xdoctest: +IGNORE_WANT
>>> n = 3
>>> prog = ProgIter(desc='manual', total=n, verbose=3)
>>> prog.begin() # Manually begin progress iteration
>>> for _ in range(n):
...     prog.step(inc=1)  # specify the number of steps to increment
>>> prog.end()  # Manually end progress iteration
manual 0/3... rate=0 Hz, eta=?, total=0:00:00
manual 1/3... rate=14454.63 Hz, eta=0:00:00, total=0:00:00
manual 2/3... rate=17485.42 Hz, eta=0:00:00, total=0:00:00
manual 3/3... rate=21689.78 Hz, eta=0:00:00, total=0:00:00

When working with ProgIter in either iterable or manual mode you can use the prog.ensure_newline method to guarantee that the next call you make to stdout will start on a new line. You can also use the prog.set_extra method to update a dynamci “extra” message that is shown in the formatted output. The following example demonstrates this.

Example

>>> # xdoctest: +IGNORE_WANT
>>> def is_prime(n):
...     return n >= 2 and not any(n % i == 0 for i in range(2, n))
>>> _iter = range(1000)
>>> prog = ProgIter(_iter, desc='check primes', verbose=2, show_wall=True)
>>> for n in prog:
>>>     if n == 97:
>>>         print('!!! Special print at n=97 !!!')
>>>     if is_prime(n):
>>>         prog.set_extra('Biggest prime so far: {}'.format(n))
>>>         prog.ensure_newline()

Prints progress as an iterator progresses

ProgIter is an alternative to tqdm. ProgIter implements much of the tqdm-API. The main difference between ProgIter and tqdm is that ProgIter does not use threading whereas tqdm does.

Variables

  • iterable (List | Iterable) – A list or iterable to loop over

  • desc (str) – description label to show with progress

  • total (int) – Maximum length of the process. If not specified, we estimate it from the iterable, if possible.

  • freq (int) – How many iterations to wait between messages. Defaults to 1.

  • eta_window (int) – number of previous measurements to use in eta calculation, default=64

  • clearline (bool) – if True messages are printed on the same line otherwise each new progress message is printed on new line. default=True

  • adjust (bool) – if True freq is adjusted based on time_thresh. This may be overwritten depending on the setting of verbose. default=True

  • time_thresh (float) – desired amount of time to wait between messages if adjust is True otherwise does nothing, default=2.0

  • show_percent (bool) – if True show percent progress. Default=True

  • show_times (bool) – if False do not show rate, eta, or wall time. default=True Deprecated. Use show_rate / show_eta / show_wall instead.

  • show_rate (bool) – show / hide rate, default=True

  • show_eta (bool) – show / hide estimated time of arival (i.e. time to completion), default=True

  • show_wall (bool) – show / hide wall time, default=False

  • initial (int) – starting index offset, default=0

  • stream (IO) – stream where progress information is written to, default=sys.stdout

  • timer (callable) – the timer object to use. Defaults to time.perf_counter().

  • enabled (bool) – if False nothing happens. default=True

  • chunksize (int | None) – indicates that each iteration processes a batch of this size. Iteration rate is displayed in terms of single-items.

  • rel_adjust_limit (float) – Maximum factor update frequency can be adjusted by in a single step. default=4.0

  • verbose (int) – verbosity mode, which controls clearline, adjust, and enabled. The following maps the value of verbose to its effect. 0: enabled=False, 1: enabled=True with clearline=True and adjust=True, 2: enabled=True with clearline=False and adjust=True, 3: enabled=True with clearline=False and adjust=False

  • homogeneous (bool | str) – Indicate if the iterable is likely to take a uniform or homogeneous amount of time per iteration. When True we can enable a speed optimization. When False, the time estimates are more accurate. Default to “auto”, which attempts to determine if it is safe to use True. Has no effect if adjust is False.

Note

Either use ProgIter in a with statement or call prog.end() at the end of the computation if there is a possibility that the entire iterable may not be exhausted.

Note

ProgIter is an alternative to tqdm. The main difference between ProgIter and tqdm is that ProgIter does not use threading whereas tqdm does. ProgIter is simpler than tqdm and thus more stable in certain circumstances.

Example

>>> 
>>> def is_prime(n):
...     return n >= 2 and not any(n % i == 0 for i in range(2, n))
>>> for n in ProgIter(range(100), verbose=1, show_wall=True):
>>>     # do some work
>>>     is_prime(n)
100/100... rate=... Hz, total=..., wall=...
set_extra(extra)[source]

specify a custom info appended to the end of the next message

Parameters

extra (str | Callable) – a constant or dynamically constructed extra message.

Todo

  • [ ] extra is a bad name; come up with something better and rename

Example

>>> prog = ProgIter(range(100, 300, 100), show_times=False, verbose=3)
>>> for n in prog:
>>>     prog.set_extra('processesing num {}'.format(n))
 0.00% 0/2...
 50.00% 1/2...processesing num 100
 100.00% 2/2...processesing num 200
begin()[source]

Initializes information used to measure progress

This only needs to be used if this ProgIter is not wrapping an iterable. Does nothing if this ProgIter is disabled.

Returns

a chainable self-reference

Return type

ProgIter

end()[source]

Signals that iteration has ended and displays the final message.

This only needs to be used if this ProgIter is not wrapping an iterable. Does nothing if this ProgIter object is disabled or has already finished.

step(inc=1, force=False)[source]

Manually step progress update, either directly or by an increment.

Parameters

  • inc (int, default=1) – number of steps to increment

  • force (bool, default=False) – if True forces progress display

Example

>>> n = 3
>>> prog = ProgIter(desc='manual', total=n, verbose=3)
>>> # Need to manually begin and end in this mode
>>> prog.begin()
>>> for _ in range(n):
...     prog.step()
>>> prog.end()

Example

>>> n = 3
>>> # can be used as a context manager in manual mode
>>> with ProgIter(desc='manual', total=n, verbose=3) as prog:
...     for _ in range(n):
...         prog.step()
format_message()[source]

Exists only for backwards compatibility.

See format_message_parts for more recent API.

format_message_parts()[source]

builds a formatted progres message with the current values. This contains the special characters needed to clear lines.

Example

>>> self = ProgIter(clearline=False, show_times=False)
>>> print(repr(self.format_message_parts()[1]))
'    0/?... '
>>> self.begin()
>>> self.step()
>>> print(repr(self.format_message_parts()[1]))
' 1/?... '

Example

>>> self = ProgIter(chunksize=10, total=100, clearline=False,
>>>                 show_times=False, microseconds=True)
>>> # hack, microseconds=True for coverage, needs real test
>>> print(repr(self.format_message_parts()[1]))
' 0.00% of 10x100... '
>>> self.begin()
>>> self.update()  # tqdm alternative to step
>>> print(repr(self.format_message_parts()[1]))
' 1.00% of 10x100... '
ensure_newline()[source]

use before any custom printing when using the progress iter to ensure your print statement starts on a new line instead of at the end of a progress line

Example

>>> # Unsafe version may write your message on the wrong line
>>> prog = ProgIter(range(3), show_times=False, freq=2, adjust=False,
...                 time_thresh=0)
>>> for n in prog:
...     print('unsafe message')
 0.00% 0/3... unsafe message
unsafe message
 66.67% 2/3... unsafe message
 100.00% 3/3...
>>> # apparently the safe version does this too.
>>> print('---')
---
>>> prog = ProgIter(range(3), show_times=False, freq=2, adjust=False,
...                 time_thresh=0)
>>> for n in prog:
...     prog.ensure_newline()
...     print('safe message')
 0.00% 0/3...
safe message
safe message
 66.67% 2/3...
safe message
 100.00% 3/3...
display_message()[source]

Writes current progress to the output stream
