[New-bugs-announce] [issue8560] regrtest: add a minimal "progress bar"

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

regrtest takes between 10 and 20 minutes to run the full test suite. It would be nice to see the progress of the test suite with a kind of progress bar. Add the test number would be enough:

$ ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py                             
...
test_grammar (1/340)                                             
test_opcodes (2/340)                                             
test_dict (3/340)                                                
test_builtin (4/340)                                             
test_exceptions (5/340)                                          
test_types (6/340)                                               
test_unittest (7/340)                                            
...

Attached patch implements that (classic version and multiprocess version).
