Python Progress Indicator Utility

Project description

PyPrind
=======

The PyPrind (Python Progress Indicator) module lets you visualize the
progress of a programming task in Python via a progress bar or a
percentage indicator.



Installation
------------

You can use the following command to install PyPrind:
> pip install pyprind

Or you download the package manually, unzip it, and install it from the
package folder via:

>python setup.py install
or
> python3 setup.py install


Documentation
-------------

PyPrind consists of two class objects that can visualize the progress of
a computation on the output screen.
Progress bars are visualized via a `ProgBar()` object, and
alternatively, the progress can be shown as an percentage via the
`ProgPercent()` object.

The general usage of `ProgBar()` and `ProgPercent()` consists of three
steps:

1) initialize a new `ProgBar()` or `ProgPercent()` object with the
number of iterations of the computation that is to be performed
2) update the `ProgBar()` or `ProgPercent()` object for each iteration
via the `.update()`method
3) complete the progress visualization via the `.finish()` method after
the computation is completed

EXAMPLE CODE:

n = 10000000
my_progress = pyprind.ProgBar(n) # 1) initialization with number of iterations
for i in range(n):
# do some computation
my_prbar.update() # 2) update the progress visualization
my_prbar.finish() # 3) complete the progress visualization


OPTIONAL PARAMETERS:

- Setting the width of the progress bar:

`my_prog = pyrpind.ProgBar(width=70) # default = 50`


- Set whether CPU time should be reported or not.
The optional `cpu_time` parameter can be set for both `ProgBar()` and
`ProgPercent()` objects.\

E.g.,
`my_prog.finish(cpu_time=False) # (default = True)`



Examples
--------

The following examples shall illustrate the typical usage of the PyPrind
package.
An visualization can be viewed on YouTube: http://youtu.be/gjj5K8OWo7U

- Example - Progress Bar

import pyprind

n = 10000000
my_prbar = pyprind.ProgBar(n)
for i in range(n):
# do some computation
my_prbar.update()
my_prbar.finish()

- Example - Percentage Indicator

import pyprind

n = 1000000
my_perc = pyprind.ProgPercent(n)
for i in range(n):
# do some computation
my_perc.update()
my_perc.finish()
