ipywidgets is required for tqdm's notebook progress bar

In a fresh environment I got this error (just the end a longer traceback) when downloading a product with dag.download(product) from “scihub”. I post this issue here as I think this issue is mostly related to eodag.

~/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/envs/complete-eodag/lib/python3.8/site-packages/eodag_sentinelsat/eodag_sentinelsat.py in extract(self, product_info)
    192                     for fileinfo in fileinfos:
    193                         zfile.extract(fileinfo, path=self.config.outputs_prefix)
--> 194                         bar(1)
    195             return product_info["path"][: product_info["path"].index(".zip")]
    196         else:

~/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/envs/complete-eodag/lib/python3.8/site-packages/eodag/utils/__init__.py in __call__(self, current_size, max_size)
    392             self.max_size = max_size
    393         if self.pb is None:
--> 394             self.pb = tqdm_notebook(
    395                 total=self.max_size,
    396                 unit=self.unit,

~/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/envs/complete-eodag/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tqdm/notebook.py in __init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
    237         unit_scale = 1 if self.unit_scale is True else self.unit_scale or 1
    238         total = self.total * unit_scale if self.total else self.total
--> 239         self.container = self.status_printer(self.fp, total, self.desc, self.ncols)
    240         self.container.pbar = self
    241         self.displayed = False

~/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/envs/complete-eodag/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tqdm/notebook.py in status_printer(_, total, desc, ncols)
    110         # Prepare IPython progress bar
    111         if IProgress is None:  # #187 #451 #558 #872
--> 112             raise ImportError(
    113                 "IProgress not found. Please update jupyter and ipywidgets."
    114                 " See https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/stable"

ImportError: IProgress not found. Please update jupyter and ipywidgets. See https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_install.html

Two surprising things then:

1. tqdm required ipywidgets for its notebook’s progress bar, however this dependency is set in their extras dependencies (notebook entry), which is unfortunate. I hadn’t noticed that before because I have ipywidgets installed in my dev environment to run the tutorial, and NotebookWidgets isn’t tested.

   https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/blob/4591083884c8ca079ccd1192c079113c7baeadc8/setup.cfg#L85

2. When the product was being downloaded, the progress bar displayed was the default one. This error occurred when the product was being extracted. This is because eodag-sentinelsatcalls directly get_progress_callback to display a progress bar while extracting a file. https://github.com/CS-SI/eodag-sentinelsat/blob/0969e0e69b97a9bad85ed4090027c0b873c8a196/eodag_sentinelsat/eodag_sentinelsat.py#L186

For 1., should we make ipywidgets a dependency? Or in a new notebook entry in the extras_require? If we make it an extra dependency, I’d have to check how to handle that with conda. I’m not sure they support extras_require, however I think that I could change the recipe from script: {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . -vv to script: {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install .[notebook] -vv. I’d have to make sure it works though.

For 2., I’ll directly comment in #237, and whatever we do, we’d certainly have to update eodag-sentinelsat, I’ll open an issue there too to keep track of that.

Usage of tqdm.auto.tqdm instead of tqdm.tqdm and tqdm.notebook.tqdm fixes the issue.

class tqdm.auto.tqdm(tqdm.tqdm):
    """Automatically chooses beween `tqdm.notebook` and `tqdm.tqdm`."""

• Use tqdm.auto.tqdm instead of tqdm.tqdm
• Update eodag.utils.get_progress_callback to make it return only ProgressCallback
• Deprecate NotebookProgressCallback
