enhance complete()

[feth]

maybe provide a start() that accepts an optional id and returns it.

complete would provide a separator, the time elapsed, the iterations number (if relevant)

I am just wondering if this could be implemented with a context manager:

with logger.progress_report() as progress:
     # Optional
     progress.print_progress()

The name of the different methods/objects are crap, but such an API would give for free the start and stop separator, and implement easily the progress indicator.

Nice idea!

I suggest the progress_report() could accept many arguments, allowing for a full configuration of the progress.

Arguments that I think of:

• expected_iterations: even if "complete" will only take place when exiting the context, that allows for a completion information.
• dot_default_char : character.

Sounds good.
