"""Redirecting writing

If using a library that can print messages to the console, editing the library
by  replacing `print()` with `tqdm.write()` may not be desirable.
In that case, redirecting `sys.stdout` to `tqdm.write()` is an option.

To redirect `sys.stdout`, create a file-like class that will write
any input string to `tqdm.write()`, and supply the arguments
`file=sys.stdout, dynamic_ncols=True`.

A reusable canonical example is given below:
"""
import contextlib
import sys
from time import sleep

from tqdm import tqdm
from tqdm.contrib import DummyTqdmFile


@contextlib.contextmanager
def std_out_err_redirect_tqdm():
    orig_out_err = sys.stdout, sys.stderr
    try:
        # sys.stdout = sys.stderr = DummyTqdmFile(orig_out_err[0])
        sys.stdout, sys.stderr = map(DummyTqdmFile, orig_out_err)
        yield orig_out_err[0]
    # Relay exceptions
    except Exception as exc:
        raise exc
    # Always restore sys.stdout/err if necessary
    finally:
        sys.stdout, sys.stderr = orig_out_err


def some_fun(i):
    print("Fee, fi, fo,".split()[i])


# Redirect stdout to tqdm.write()
with std_out_err_redirect_tqdm() as orig_stdout:
    # tqdm needs the original stdout
    # and dynamic_ncols=True to autodetect console width
    for i in tqdm(range(3), file=orig_stdout, dynamic_ncols=True):
        # order of the following two lines should not matter
        some_fun(i)
        sleep(.5)

# After the `with`, printing is restored
print("Done!")
