hey,

I’m just a python programmer forced to implement some julia stuff into my project. Meanwhile almost all things are working and julia is fine. There is just one thing I can’t figure out:

How can I grep the progress of a julia calculation?

So what I’m using in python is a pattern like this:

- define a Queue
- starting a thread which pops this queue
- putting some information into this queue while caculation some stuff.

And now I have to implement some julia stuff with pyjulia. As said, it works, but I want to get the progress of the calculation. Starting something with threads in python is not a good way, because pyjulia is not threadsafe.

Dear community, has anyone an idea which way I have to think? To google “pyjulia show progress” gives me much information about the progress of the pyjulia project, but nothing related to my problem.

regards  
tux

Not sure how it behaves with pyjulia but there is [GitHub - timholy/ProgressMeter.jl: Progress meter for long-running computations](https://github.com/timholy/ProgressMeter.jl)

Have you try [ProgressMeter](https://github.com/timholy/ProgressMeter.jl) package ?

well, Progressmeter looks very cool, but how can I get the information from julia(terminal) to python. It’s a django project, so I don’t need output to the terminal. I need output to some data structure like a queue.
