A progress tracker with methods for throughput, ETA and update notification.

Class CheckPoint

MRO: builtins.tuple
CheckPoint(time, position)

Class Progress

A progress counter to track task completion with various utility methods.

P = Progress(name="example") P #doctest: +ELLIPSIS Progress(name='example',start=0,position=0,start_time=...,thoughput_window=None,total=None):[CheckPoint(time=..., position=0)] P.advance(5) P #doctest: +ELLIPSIS Progress(name='example',start=0,position=5,start_time=...,thoughput_window=None,total=None):[CheckPoint(time=..., position=0), CheckPoint(time=..., position=5)] P.total = 100 P #doctest: +ELLIPSIS Progress(name='example',start=0,position=5,start_time=...,thoughput_window=None,total=100):[CheckPoint(time=..., position=0), CheckPoint(time=..., position=5)]

A Progress instance has an attribute notify_update which is a set of callables. Whenever the position is updates, each of these will be called with the Progress instance and the latest CheckPoint.

Progress objects also make a small pretense of being an integer. The expression int(progress) returns the current position, and += and -= adjust the position.

This is convenient for coding, but importantly it is also important for discretionary use of a Progress with some other object. If you want to make a lightweight Progress capable class you can set a position attribute to an int and manipulate it carefully using += and -= entirely. If you decide to incur the cost of maintaining a Progress object you can slot it in:

# initial setup with just an int
my_thing.amount = 0

# later, or on some option, use a Progress instance
my_thing.amount = Progress(my_thing.amount)
