[SOLVED] Doubt: how to show the download status of a file? (Using "wget" module)
Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2020 1:18 am
Hello guys.
I apologize if this rookie question causes annoyance to people, but I've been thinking about it for days.
A few days ago I discovered a Python module called "wget", which I want to use to create an in-game asset downloader. It is a fairly simple module to use and works perfect for downloading files.
This is the code I use to make it work in the Python interpreter:
The status_custom function is responsible for showing the current status of the download (Percentage and bytes of the file), and displays each percentage line by line on the interpreter.
I have adapted the code into a ".rpy" script which works perfect except for one thing. I can't show the download indicator on the interface.
The code adapted to the Ren'Py environment is this:
the Upd_Downloading screen is displayed just before starting the download with the Python block. (Showing it after the python block wouldn't be too useful since that screen would show up after the download is done).
The idea is that this screen is able to show the current status of the download, at the moment that "wget" is doing its job.
MY TRIES:
I tried to make the function return the status of the download using Text() to create a DynamicDisplayable() and thus display it on the screen using add, but I had no success.
I tried stupidly to put inside the screen, a line with text and the name of the function. I was also unsuccessful.
If I put the status_customfunction in a init python block, or before the python block where the download takes place, I get an error of type ZeroDivisionError (The values it shows are divided by zero, so it throws an error).
Help me please :"(

This is the code I use to make it work in the Python interpreter:
Code: Select all
## "wget" module for download files
import wget
## Links and file output
Assets_Link = "The URL of the files"
print("Acquiring URL...")
## This function shows download status (Percent and bytes)
## Example : Downloading... 10% [0 / 1024] Bytes
def status_custom(current, total, width=80):
print("Downloading... %d%% [%d / %d] Bytes" %(current / total * 100, current, total))
## MODULE IN ACTION [DOWNLOAD FILES]
try:
update_download = wget.download(Assets_Link, bar=status_custom)
update_received = True
except:
update_received = False
if update_received:
print("The game is Up-to-date! :D")
else:
print("Oops. Something went wrong :(")

import wget
## [UI] Download screen
screen Upd_Downloading():

## The game starts here

python:
Assets_Link = "The URL of the files"
## Function for show download status
def status_custom(current, total, width=80):
print("Downloading... %d%% [%d / %d] Bytes" %(current / total * 100, current, total))
