For every function? I don’t think so, as it depends on what the function is
doing.
For example, consider this.
def cache():
count = 10
while True:
count -= 1
if count < 0:
break
This would run until done, and there’s no way to determine how long it will
take unless you knew the source.
For some functions, such as Maya’s geometry caching? Maybe, if it got
implemented that way. I’d think that if it visually moves the timeline,
there must be a way, however hacky. Otherwise you’re at the mercy of
whatever notification mechanism got built into the function to start with.
subscribers = []
def cache():
count = 10
while True:
for func in subscribers:
func("%i loops left" % count)
count -= 1
if count < 0:
break
def update_my_widget(status):
# widget.setText(status)
print(status)
subscribers.append(update_my_widget)
cache()
