Add an option to use print rather than tqdm for dynesty
Closes #543 (closed)
This is an initial attempt at making the output style a user-specifiable thing.
I implemented three options for print_method:
-
tqdm: the default and retains the current behaviour. This is particularly nice when using notebooks astqdmis able to use widgets to make a nicer progress bar. -
interval-TIME: this allows the user to specify how often to print the output tosys.stdout. This uses theprintbuilt-in. I'm open to using the logger as long as we make sure it gets piped tosys.stdout. TheTIMEis specified in seconds so interval-10` will print an update once every 10 seconds. - anything else will print to
stdoutusing theprintbuilt-in every iteration.
We could use either the second or third in bilby_pipe/parallel_bilby as the expectation there is that stdout is a file, not a terminal.
I'm open to opinions.
