I have an Installer written in Python(45%) and Powershell(55%) which is used to install Virtual Machines at specific locations. It is single threaded. I am trying to implement a ProgressBar for this installer. So that the user will come to know the progress of the installation. I am using pypi progressbar module. The top script is in python which inturns calls powershell scripts using subprocess.call() and proceeds with the installation. I am taking a shared file between python and powershell, so that diff functions can update their %age completion level in to the file. Ex. Func1() updates it to 5%, func2() will add its own 5% to it.. and so on. At the start of the (main.py) script I am creating a thread whose sole purpose would be to keep "READ" a temp file for a new entry in it. Based on this entry I can have my thread update the progressbar on the console. My questions are: 1. Can I have a better shared mechanism between python and powershell.? As I am using a file here. Reading + writing in python and writing only in powershell. ! 2. Does this thread mechanism work.? I am yet to implement and test it.! :P What can be the possible shortfalls.?
