factor display code out of analysis processing?

Hi!

Its use is to get a rough idea of the complexity of the circuit while the simulation is running, each step corresponds to a matrix inversion (eg if a matrix inversion takes 10s and you are simulating 1k time steps you know you are in trouble or there is something wrong in the netlist).

That said, I see your point.

I can suggest as options:

• not instantiating it unless verbose=6
• removing it

It is not really clear to me what you mean by factoring it in its own library.

I understand it is just a nuisance in a library and it can be removed/modified.

Ah, correlating steps to matrix inversion is a nice touch! What do you think about:

if verbose > 1:
import ticker
tick = ticker.ticker(increments_for_step=1)
tick.display(verbose > 1)

Or just removing it. It's a nice bit of code, but it got in the way when I was trying to use 'bpython' (an interactive python shell) with ahkab - bpython really didn't like something writing straight to stdout. I "solved" the problem by turning verbosity all the way down, but unfortunately that removed a bunch of useful information.

Punchline: open to suggestions, it's gotten in my way, but is a nice touch.

With 8b66a7f printing and doing weird stuff with stdout when running from the command interpreter should be greatly reduced. It should play nicer with bpython. Tangentially, if you like bpython, ipython is well worth a try.
