Tracking progress of joblib.Parallel execution

Yet another step ahead from dano’s and Connor’s answers is to wrap the whole thing as a context manager:

import contextlib
import joblib
from tqdm import tqdm

@contextlib.contextmanager
def tqdm_joblib(tqdm_object):
    """Context manager to patch joblib to report into tqdm progress bar given as argument"""
    class TqdmBatchCompletionCallback(joblib.parallel.BatchCompletionCallBack):
        def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
            tqdm_object.update(n=self.batch_size)
            return super().__call__(*args, **kwargs)

    old_batch_callback = joblib.parallel.BatchCompletionCallBack
    joblib.parallel.BatchCompletionCallBack = TqdmBatchCompletionCallback
    try:
        yield tqdm_object
    finally:
        joblib.parallel.BatchCompletionCallBack = old_batch_callback
        tqdm_object.close()

Then you can use it like this and don’t leave monkey patched code once you’re done:

from math import sqrt
from joblib import Parallel, delayed

with tqdm_joblib(tqdm(desc="My calculation", total=10)) as progress_bar:
    Parallel(n_jobs=16)(delayed(sqrt)(i**2) for i in range(10))

which is awesome I think and it looks similar to tqdm pandas integration.
