Manually render progress bar?

[adamklaff]

I have a bunch of tasks that I want to show progress of in a single display. They each run in a background thread and are queued. I have successfully created the progress bar and inside the various worker functions I can see the status of the tasks updating in the debugger, but I'm unable to hook in and display the progress in my main script. A rough example:

lib.py

progress = Progress()

def func1(jobs):
    task = progress.add_task("my task", total=len(jobs), start=False)
    for job in jobs:
        queue.put(work.work(job, task=task)) # it works differently but this is the gist

work.py

def work(args, task=None):
    some_work()
    if task is not None:
        lib.progress.update(task, advance=1)

main.py

lib.func1(jobs)

with lib.progress as progress:
    while not progress.completed:
       ???

Nevermind! I was able to get this working. My issue was I had "start=False" when I was adding tasks.
