问题
I'm building an application with wxPython and a Deep Learning model that I created using Tensorflow. The design pattern that I'm using is MVC. My problem is that the deep learning model is very heavy and it takes a very long time to load (like ~2 minutes) and in the meantime the GUI hangs. I created a sample code that describes the process. Here is what the GUI looks like while loading:
enter image description here
and this is what the GUI looks like after the loading: enter image description here
The question is how do I get the application to run while the model is loading? I would also like to add a status line to the GUI indicating that the model is loading or already loaded.
I'm adding the sample code that shows how my application is built.
import wx
import time
class Model:
def __init__(self):
'''This part is simulating the loading of tensorflow'''
x = 0
while x < 15:
time.sleep(1)
print(x)
x += 1
class View(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title):
super(View, self).__init__(parent, title=title, size=(400, 400))
self.InitUI()
def InitUI(self):
# Defines the GUI controls
masterPanel = wx.Panel(self)
masterPanel.SetBackgroundColour("gold")
self.vbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.fgs = wx.FlexGridSizer(6, 2, 10, 25)
id = wx.StaticText(self, label="ID:")
firstName = wx.StaticText(self, label="First name:")
lastName = wx.StaticText(self, label="Last name:")
self.idTc = wx.TextCtrl(self)
self.firstNameTc = wx.TextCtrl(self)
self.lastNameTc = wx.TextCtrl(self)
self.fgs.AddMany([id, (self.idTc, 1, wx.EXPAND),
firstName, (self.firstNameTc, 1, wx.EXPAND),
lastName, (self.lastNameTc, 1, wx.EXPAND)])
self.vbox.Add(self.fgs, proportion=1, flag=wx.ALL | wx.EXPAND,
border=15)
self.SetSizer(self.vbox)
self.vbox.Fit(self)
self.Layout()
class Controller:
def __init__(self):
self.view = View(None, title='Test')
self.view.Show()
self.model = Model()
def main():
app = wx.App()
controller = Controller()
app.MainLoop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
回答1:
You should call wx.GetApp().Yield() after the self.view.Show() command, which releases control momentarily to the MainLoop.
If the model load code is performed in increments, you can call Yield periodically during the load as well.
Below is a simple method of informing the user that something is going on. If you wanted the option of cancelling the model load, you would have to wrap it in a dialog, assuming that it is loaded incrementally.
import wx
import time
class Model:
def __init__(self):
'''This part is simulating the loading of tensorflow'''
x = 0
#If the model load is perform in increments you could call wx.Yield
# between the increments.
while x < 15:
time.sleep(1)
wx.GetApp().Yield()
print(x)
x += 1
class View(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title):
super(View, self).__init__(parent, title=title, size=(400, 400))
self.InitUI()
def InitUI(self):
# Defines the GUI controls
#masterPanel = wx.Panel(self)
#masterPanel.SetBackgroundColour("gold")
self.vbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.fgs = wx.FlexGridSizer(6, 2, 10, 25)
id = wx.StaticText(self, label="ID:")
firstName = wx.StaticText(self, label="First name:")
lastName = wx.StaticText(self, label="Last name:")
self.idTc = wx.TextCtrl(self)
self.firstNameTc = wx.TextCtrl(self)
self.lastNameTc = wx.TextCtrl(self)
self.fgs.AddMany([id, (self.idTc, 1, wx.EXPAND),
firstName, (self.firstNameTc, 1, wx.EXPAND),
lastName, (self.lastNameTc, 1, wx.EXPAND)])
self.vbox.Add(self.fgs, proportion=1, flag=wx.ALL | wx.EXPAND,
border=15)
self.CreateStatusBar() # A Statusbar in the bottom of the window
self.StatusBar.SetStatusText("No model loaded", 0)
self.SetSizer(self.vbox)
self.vbox.Fit(self)
self.Layout()
class Controller:
def __init__(self):
self.view = View(None, title='Test')
self.view.Show()
self.view.SetStatusText("Model loading", 0)
wait = wx.BusyInfo("Please wait, loading model...")
#Optionally add parent to centre message on self.view
#wait = wx.BusyInfo("Please wait, loading model...", parent=self.view)
wx.GetApp().Yield()
self.model = Model()
self.view.SetStatusText("Model loaded", 0)
del wait
def main():
app = wx.App()
controller = Controller()
app.MainLoop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

You could use the _thread module and the PyPubSub module to keep the main thread completely functional during the loading of the model.
However, keep in mind that if you have a wx.Button in the GUI bound to method A and method A requires the full model to be loaded to properly run, then users will be able to click the wx.Button and the program will probably hang because the model is still not fully loaded. If this is the case, you could use the methods Disable() (while the model is being loaded) and Enable() (after the model is loaded) to prevent this.

If you load the model from a method inside class View then you will not need the PyPubSub module because you could just call wx.CallAfter(self.ShowLoadProgress, x)

Just for fun and because I prefer the answer that kbr85 gave to my simplistic first answer, here's a Threaded variant with a gauge in the statusbar and a Busy cursor, although my screenshot program didn't pick it up.
There's a Stop button and the statusbar is removed once the load finishes.
Rather than use pubsub, I've used a wxpython event to communicate.
