How to get progress in python script.
 

Hi all,

Please, I need you suggest me a way to get statistics about a progress
of my python script. My python script could take a lot of time
processing a file, so I need a way that an external program check the
progress of the script. My first idea was that the python script write a
temp file showing the progress and the external program can check that
file, but I think might happen file read/write locking issues.

Thanks.

The external program should open the progress file for read only, so I
wouldn't think file locking would be an issue.

Would the Python profiler meet your need?
