QUESTION

First of all, I know that a lot of questions are similar to this one.
But after spending so much time on it, I now look for help from the community.

I developed and use a bunch of python modules that rely on tqdm.
I want them to be usable inside Jupyter, in console or with a GUI.
Everything works fine in Jupyter or console : there are no collisions between logging/prints and tqdm progress bars. Here is a sample code that shows the console/Jupyter behavior:

# coding=utf-8
from tqdm.auto import tqdm
import time
import logging
import sys
import datetime
__is_setup_done = False


def setup_logging(log_prefix):
    global __is_setup_done

    if __is_setup_done:
        pass
    else:
        __log_file_name = "{}-{}_log_file.txt".format(log_prefix,
                                                      datetime.datetime.utcnow().isoformat().replace(":", "-"))

        __log_format = '%(asctime)s - %(name)-30s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
        __console_date_format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
        __file_date_format = '%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S'

        root = logging.getLogger()
        root.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

        console_formatter = logging.Formatter(__log_format, __console_date_format)

        file_formatter = logging.Formatter(__log_format, __file_date_format)
        file_handler = logging.FileHandler(__log_file_name, mode='a', delay=True)
        # file_handler = TqdmLoggingHandler2(__log_file_name, mode='a', delay=True)
        file_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
        file_handler.setFormatter(file_formatter)
        root.addHandler(file_handler)

        tqdm_handler = TqdmLoggingHandler()
        tqdm_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
        tqdm_handler.setFormatter(console_formatter)
        root.addHandler(tqdm_handler)

        __is_setup_done = True

class TqdmLoggingHandler(logging.StreamHandler):

    def __init__(self, level=logging.NOTSET):
        logging.StreamHandler.__init__(self)

    def emit(self, record):
        msg = self.format(record)
        tqdm.write(msg)
        # from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38543506/change-logging-print-function-to-tqdm-write-so-logging-doesnt-interfere-wit/38739634#38739634
        self.flush()


def example_long_procedure():
    setup_logging('long_procedure')
    __logger = logging.getLogger('long_procedure')
    __logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    for i in tqdm(range(10), unit_scale=True, dynamic_ncols=True, file=sys.stdout):
        time.sleep(.1)
        __logger.info('foo {}'.format(i))

example_long_procedure()

The obtained output:

2019-03-07 22:22:27 - long_procedure                 - INFO - foo 0
2019-03-07 22:22:27 - long_procedure                 - INFO - foo 1

Now, I’m making a GUI with PyQt that uses code similar to above. Since processing may be long, I used threading in order to avoid freezing HMI during processing. I also used stdout redirection using Queue() towards a Qt QWidget so the user can see what is happenning.

My current use case is 1 single thread that has logs and tqdm progress bars to redirect to 1 dedicated widget. (I’m not looking for multiple threads to feed the widget with multiple logs and multiple tqdm progress bar).

I managed to redirect stdout thanks to the informations from Redirecting stdout and stderr to a PyQt5 QTextEdit from a secondary thread.
However, only logger lines are redirected. TQDM progress bar is still directed to the console output.

i.e. expected output in PyQt widget:

Things I tried / explored with no success.

Option 1

This solution Display terminal output with tqdm in QPlainTextEdit does not give the expected results. It works well to redirect outputs containing only tqdm stuff.

The following code does not give the intended behavior, wether it is with QTextEdit or QPlainTextEdit. Only logger lines are redirected.

    # code from this answer
    # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53381975/display-terminal-output-with-tqdm-in-qplaintextedit
    @pyqtSlot(str)
    def append_text(self, message: str):
        if not hasattr(self, "flag"):
            self.flag = False
        message = message.replace('r', '').rstrip()
        if message:
            method = "replace_last_line" if self.flag else "append_text"
            QMetaObject.invokeMethod(self,
                                     method,
                                     Qt.QueuedConnection,
                                     Q_ARG(str, message))
            self.flag = True
        else:
            self.flag = False

    @pyqtSlot(str)
    def replace_last_line(self, text):
        cursor = self.textCursor()
        cursor.movePosition(QTextCursor.End)
        cursor.select(QTextCursor.BlockUnderCursor)
        cursor.removeSelectedText()
        cursor.insertBlock()
        self.setTextCursor(cursor)
        self.insertPlainText(text)

However, the above code + adding file=sys.stdout to the tqdm call changes the behavior: tqdm output is redirected to the Qt widget. But in the end, only one line is displayed, and it is either a logger line or a tqdm line (it looks like it depends on which Qt widget I derived).

In the end, changing all tqdm invocations used modules should not be the preferred option.

So the other approach I found is to redirect stderr in the same stream/queue stdout is redirected to. Since tqdm writes to stderr by default, this way all tqdm outputs are redirected to widget.

But I still can’t figure out obtaining the exact output I’m looking for.

This question does not provide a clue on why behavior seems to differ between QTextEdit vs QPlainTextEdit

Option 2

This question Duplicate stdout, stderr in QTextEdit widget looks very similar to Display terminal output with tqdm in QPlainTextEdit and does not answer to my exact problem described above.

Option 3

Trying this solution using contextlib gave me an error due to no flush() method being defined. After fixing, I end up with only tqdm lines and no logger lines.

Option 4

I also tried to intercept the r character and implement a specific behavior, with not success.

EDIT 2019-mar-12: It seems to me that the answer is : it could probably be done, but requires a lots of effort in order to remember where which line comes from for the QTextEdit to behave as instended. Plus, since tdm writes to stderr by default, you would end up with catching all exceptions traces too.
That is why I’ll mark my own answer as solved: I find it more elegant to achieve the same purpose : show in pyqt what is happenning.


Here is my best shot to obtain something close to the intended behavior.
It does not exactly respond to the question, because I changed the GUI design.
So I won’t vote it as solved. Moreover, this is done all in one single python file. I plan to further challenge this solution to see if it works with real python modules doing tqdm imports.

I patched the basic tqdm class in a very ugly way. The main trick is to :

  • dynamically change the tqdm module structure by storing the original tqdm class into a new name: tqdm.orignal_class = tqdm.tqdm
  • then inherit tqdm.original class class TQDMPatch(tqdm.orignal_class):
  • implement the constructor in order to force the file stream + any parameters to whatever you want: super(TQDMPatch, self).__init__(... change some params ...). I gave my TQDM class a custom WriteStream() that writes into a Queue()
  • change the GUI strategy to intercept and redirect your custom tqdm stream to a separate Qt widget. My widget is making the assumption that all received prints contain r(which TQDM seems to be doing).

It is working both as in single python file and with multiple separated modules. In the latter case, imports order at startup is critical.

WITH PROPER SEPARATED MODULES

Same solution but with actual separated files.

  • MyPyQtGUI.py, the program entry point
  • output_redirection_tools.py the very first import that should be done during execution flow. Hosts all the magic.
  • config.py, a config module hosting config elements
  • my_logging.py, custom logging configuration
  • third_party_module_not_to_change.py, sample version of some code I use but don’t want to change.

MyPyQtGUI.py

It is important to note that the very first import of the project should be import output_redirection_tools since it does all the tqdm hack job.

# looks like an unused import, but it actually does the TQDM class trick to intercept prints
import output_redirection_tools # KEEP ME !!!

Using QProgressBar

Long after my inital anwser, I had to think about this again.
Don’t ask why, but this time I managed to get it with a QProgressBar 🙂

The trick (at least with TQDM 4.63.1 and higher), is that there is a property format_dict with almost everything necessary for a progress bar. Maybe we already did have that before, but I missed it the first time …

Tested with:

tqdm=4.63.1
Qt=5.15.2; PyQt=5.15.6
coloredlogs=15.0.1

1. GIF showing the solution

enter image description here

2. How does it work?

As in my previous answer, we need:

  • a queue
  • a patched TQDM class
  • a worker object to read queue and send signal to QProgressBar

New thing here are:

  • a QProgressBar subclass
  • we take advantage of the new TQDM context with logging_redirect_tqdm(): which handles routing of logging traces
  • use of a custom logging traces module, with compatibility with the coloredlogs module => provides a fancy QPlainTextEdit with logger coloredlogs 🙂
  • no more tricks with stdout/stderr streams

Concerning the TQDM class patch, we redefine __init__, but now we also define refresh and close (instead of using the file stream trick from my previous answer)0

  • __init__ stores a new tqdm instance attribute, the queue and sends a "{do_reset:true}" (to reset the QProgressBar and make it visible)
  • refresh adds to queue format_dict (it contains n and total`)
  • close adds to queue a string "close" (to hide the progress bar)
