wxPython has wrapped Esky in their own SoftwareUpdate method:
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxPython/blob/master/wx/lib/softwareupdate.py
In their implementation, the application checks for new versions, and asks the user if they'd like to update (using wx GUI for interaction). If the user chooses to update, the code simply calls esky's auto_update() method to handle the rest, but they provide it with an _updateProgress method which updates a progress bar and provides messages indicating Esky's progress:
self._esky.auto_update(self._updateProgress)
...
def _updateProgress(self, status):
# Show progress of the download and install. This function is passed to Esky
# functions to use as a callback.
if self._pd is None and status.get('status') != 'done':
self._pd = wx.ProgressDialog('Software Update', ' '*40,
style=wx.PD_CAN_ABORT|wx.PD_APP_MODAL,
parent=self._parentWindow)
self._pd.Update(0, '')
if self._parentWindow:
self._pd.CenterOnParent()
simpleMsgMap = { 'searching' : 'Searching...',
'retrying' : 'Retrying...',
'ready' : 'Download complete...',
'installing' : 'Installing...',
'cleaning up' : 'Cleaning up...',}
if status.get('status') in simpleMsgMap:
self._doUpdateProgress(True, simpleMsgMap[status.get('status')])
elif status.get('status') == 'found':
self._doUpdateProgress(True, 'Found version %s...' % status.get('new_version'))
elif status.get('status') == 'downloading':
received = status.get('received')
size = status.get('size')
currentPercentage = 1.0 * received / size * 100
if currentPercentage > 99.5:
self._doUpdateProgress(False, "Unzipping...", int(currentPercentage))
else:
self._doUpdateProgress(False, "Downloading...", int(currentPercentage))
elif status.get('status') == 'done':
if self._pd:
self._pd.Destroy()
self._pd = None
wx.Yield()
def _doUpdateProgress(self, pulse, message, value=0):
if pulse:
keepGoing, skip = self._pd.Pulse(message)
else:
keepGoing, skip = self._pd.Update(value, message)
if not keepGoing: # user pressed the cancel button
self._pd.Destroy()
self._pd = None
raise UpdateAbortedError()
The code above was take directly from https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxPython/blob/master/wx/lib/softwareupdate.py.
This feature is documented in the Esky source, file: init.py, line: 689.
The code itself shows what your callback can expect to see throughout an update. Here are some excerpts where your callback would be called:
callback({"status":"searching"})
callback({"status":"found", "new_version":version})
callback({"status":"installing", "new_version":version})
for status in self.sudo_proxy.fetch_version_iter(version):
if callback is not None:
callback(status)
callback({"status":"cleaning up"})
callback({"status":"cleaning up"})
callback({"status":"error","exception":e})
callback({"status":"done"})
