Embarrassingly Parallel with a Progress Bar

The Pool class from the multiprocessing is quite nice. What it lacks however, is a progress bar. This module seeks to remedy that by providing a ProgressPool.

• python-progressbar

Everything is in the file embparpbar.py , so just drop that file to where you want to use it.

See the example.py. for details.

It will look like::

zsh» ./example.py
Using a normal Pool... you never know when it is done...
Oh... finally... it has completed...


Now using a ProgressPool... enjoy the ride! :D
ProgressPool: 100%|###############################################|Time: 00:00:20

Now using a ProgressPool, with a custom progressbar! :D
Come on baby, let's do the twist:  ||| Time: 00:00:22
