Build a Progress Callback Function for Loops in Python

Create a reusable progress callback that receives per-step data and lets callers log or update a UI as a loop runs.

callback loops progress
Python
def run_with_progress(items, desc="Processing", step_callback=None):
    """Run a loop with progress updates via callback."""
    total = len(items)
    for idx, item in enumerate(items):
        # Process the item (simulated work here)
        result = item * 2

        # Build progress data dictionary
