A do nothing functio to demonstrate a function call to a function that does a progress bar with tqdm.

fc.py

def fc(x, param):
  # inject some waiting to see progress unfold
  time.sleep(1)
  # set up pbar
  pbar = tqdm(x.items(), desc='Exp:', position=0)
  # init a variable for output
  yhat = 0
  name = x.keys()
  # loop through objects
  for i,v in pbar:
    time.sleep(1)
    for ii in v:
      # a contrived example of some computation
      error = np.exp(ii)
      # set up the pbar so that we don't get a new line each time
      pbar.set_description('Exp {}, value {:.2f}'.format(i, error))
      # update the pbar during the loop
      pbar.refresh()
      # inject some wait time
      time.sleep(1)
      # just adding here but could be anything
      yhat+=ii

  return yhat
