tqdm is a fast, extensible progress bar for Python and CLI.
Instantly make your loops show a smart progress meter – just wrap any iterable with tqdm(iterable), and you’re done.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Low overhead – about 60ns per iteration (80ns with tqdm_gui), and is unit tested against performance regression.
- Uses smart algorithms to predict the remaining time and to skip unnecessary iteration displays, which allows for a negligible overhead in most cases.
- Does not require any dependencies (not even curses), just Python and an environment supporting carriage return \r and line feed \n control characters.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, SunOS, macOS, and Windows.
