tqdm means "progress" in Arabic (taqadum, تقدّم) and is an abbreviation for "I love you so much" in Spanish (te quiero demasiado).

Instantly make your loops show a smart progress meter - just wrap any iterable with tqdm(iterable) , and you're done!

from tqdm import tqdm for i in tqdm(range(10000)): ...

76%|████████████████████████████ | 7568/10000 [00:33<00:10, 229.00it/s]

trange(N) can be also used as a convenient shortcut for tqdm(xrange(N)) .

It can also be executed as a module with pipes:

$ seq 9999999 | tqdm --bytes | wc -l 75.2MB [00:00, 217MB/s] 9999999 $ 7z a -bd -r backup.7z docs/ | grep Compressing | \ tqdm --total $(find docs/ -type f | wc -l) --unit files >> backup.log 100%|███████████████████████████████▉| 8014/8014 [01:37<00:00, 82.29files/s]

Overhead is low -- about 60ns per iteration (80ns with tqdm_gui ), and is unit tested against performance regression. By comparison, the well-established ProgressBar has an 800ns/iter overhead.

In addition to its low overhead, tqdm uses smart algorithms to predict the remaining time and to skip unnecessary iteration displays, which allows for a negligible overhead in most cases.

tqdm works on any platform (Linux, Windows, Mac, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris/SunOS), in any console or in a GUI, and is also friendly with IPython/Jupyter notebooks.
