``tqdm`` (read taqadum, تقدّم) means "progress" in arabic.
Instantly make your loops show a smart progress meter - just wrap any
iterable with ``tqdm(iterable)``, and you're done!
.. code:: python
from tqdm import tqdm
for i in tqdm(range(9)):
...
Here's what the output looks like:
``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:
.. code:: sh
$ seq 9999999 | tqdm --unit_scale | wc -l
10.0Mit [00:02, 3.58Mit/s]
9999999
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, Solaris/SunOS),
in any console or in a GUI, and is also friendly with IPython/Jupyter notebooks.
``tqdm`` does not require any library (not even curses!) to run, just a
vanilla Python interpreter will do and an environment supporting ``carriage
return \r`` and ``line feed \n`` control characters.

Usage
-----
``tqdm`` is very versatile and can be used in a number of ways.
The three main ones are given below.
Iterable-based
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wrap ``tqdm()`` around any iterable:
.. code:: python
text = ""
for char in tqdm(["a", "b", "c", "d"]):
text = text + char
``trange(i)`` is a special optimised instance of ``tqdm(range(i))``:
.. code:: python
for i in trange(100):
pass
Instantiation outside of the loop allows for manual control over ``tqdm()``:
.. code:: python
pbar = tqdm(["a", "b", "c", "d"])
for char in pbar:
pbar.set_description("Processing %s" % char)
Manual
~~~~~~
Manual control on ``tqdm()`` updates by using a ``with`` statement:
.. code:: python
with tqdm(total=100) as pbar:
for i in range(10):
pbar.update(10)
If the optional variable ``total`` (or an iterable with ``len()``) is
provided, predictive stats are displayed.
``with`` is also optional (you can just assign ``tqdm()`` to a variable,
but in this case don't forget to ``del`` or ``close()`` at the end:
.. code:: python
pbar = tqdm(total=100)
for i in range(10):
pbar.update(10)
pbar.close()
Module
~~~~~~
Perhaps the most wonderful use of ``tqdm`` is in a script or on the command
line. Simply inserting ``tqdm`` (or ``python -m tqdm``) between pipes will pass
through all ``stdin`` to ``stdout`` while printing progress to ``stderr``.
The example below demonstrated counting the number of lines in all python files
in the current directory, with timing information included.
.. code:: sh
$ time find . -name '*.py' -exec cat \{} \; | wc -l
857365
real 0m3.458s
user 0m0.274s
sys 0m3.325s
$ time find . -name '*.py' -exec cat \{} \; | tqdm | wc -l
857366it [00:03, 246471.31it/s]
857365
real 0m3.585s
user 0m0.862s
sys 0m3.358s
Note that the usual arguments for ``tqdm`` can also be specified.
.. code:: sh
$ find . -name '*.py' -exec cat \{} \; |
tqdm --unit loc --unit_scale --total 857366 >> /dev/null
100%|███████████████████████████████████| 857K/857K [00:04<00:00, 246Kloc/s]
Backing up a large directory?
.. code:: sh
$ 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]
Help!
-----
The most common issues relate to excessive output on multiple lines, instead
of a neat one-line progress bar.
- Consoles in general: require support for carriage return (``CR``, ``\r``).
- Nested progress bars:
* Consoles in general: require support for moving cursors up to the
previous line. For example, `IDLE won't work `__.
* Windows: additionally may require the python module ``colorama``.
- Wrapping enumerated iterables: use ``enumerate(tqdm(...))`` instead of
``tqdm(enumerate(...))``. The same applies to ``numpy.ndenumerate``.
This is because enumerate functions tend to hide the length of iterables.
``tqdm`` does not.

.. code:: python
class tqdm(object):
"""
Decorate an iterable object, returning an iterator which acts exactly
like the original iterable, but prints a dynamically updating
progressbar every time a value is requested.
"""
def __init__(self, iterable=None, desc=None, total=None, leave=True,
file=sys.stderr, ncols=None, mininterval=0.1,
maxinterval=10.0, miniters=None, ascii=None, disable=False,
unit='it', unit_scale=False, dynamic_ncols=False,
smoothing=0.3, bar_format=None, initial=0, position=None):
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
* iterable : iterable, optional
Iterable to decorate with a progressbar.
Leave blank to manually manage the updates.
* desc : str, optional
Prefix for the progressbar.
* total : int, optional
The number of expected iterations. If (default: None),
len(iterable) is used if possible. As a last resort, only basic
progress statistics are displayed (no ETA, no progressbar).
If `gui` is True and this parameter needs subsequent updating,
specify an initial arbitrary large positive integer,
e.g. int(9e9).
* leave : bool, optional
If [default: True], keeps all traces of the progressbar
upon termination of iteration.
* file : `io.TextIOWrapper` or `io.StringIO`, optional
Specifies where to output the progress messages
[default: sys.stderr]. Uses `file.write(str)` and `file.flush()`
methods.
* ncols : int, optional
The width of the entire output message. If specified,
dynamically resizes the progressbar to stay within this bound.
If unspecified, attempts to use environment width. The
fallback is a meter width of 10 and no limit for the counter and
statistics. If 0, will not print any meter (only stats).
* mininterval : float, optional
Minimum progress update interval, in seconds [default: 0.1].
* maxinterval : float, optional
Maximum progress update interval, in seconds [default: 10.0].
* miniters : int, optional
Minimum progress update interval, in iterations.
If specified, will set `mininterval` to 0.
* ascii : bool, optional
If unspecified or False, use unicode (smooth blocks) to fill
the meter. The fallback is to use ASCII characters `1-9 #`.
* disable : bool, optional
Whether to disable the entire progressbar wrapper
[default: False].
* unit : str, optional
String that will be used to define the unit of each iteration
[default: it].
* unit_scale : bool, optional
If set, the number of iterations will be reduced/scaled
automatically and a metric prefix following the
International System of Units standard will be added
(kilo, mega, etc.) [default: False].
* dynamic_ncols : bool, optional
If set, constantly alters `ncols` to the environment (allowing
for window resizes) [default: False].
* smoothing : float, optional
Exponential moving average smoothing factor for speed estimates
(ignored in GUI mode). Ranges from 0 (average speed) to 1
(current/instantaneous speed) [default: 0.3].
* bar_format : str, optional
Specify a custom bar string formatting. May impact performance.
If unspecified, will use '{l_bar}{bar}{r_bar}', where l_bar is
'{desc}{percentage:3.0f}%|' and r_bar is
'| {n_fmt}/{total_fmt} [{elapsed_str}<{remaining_str}, {rate_fmt}]'
Possible vars: bar, n, n_fmt, total, total_fmt, percentage,
rate, rate_fmt, elapsed, remaining, l_bar, r_bar, desc.
* initial : int, optional
The initial counter value. Useful when restarting a progress
bar [default: 0].
* position : int, optional
Specify the line offset to print this bar (starting from 0)
Automatic if unspecified.
Useful to manage multiple bars at once (eg, from threads).
Extra CLI Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* delim : chr, optional
Delimiting character [default: '\n']. Use '\0' for null.
N.B.: on Windows systems, Python converts '\n' to '\r\n'.
* buf_size : int, optional
String buffer size in bytes [default: 256]
used when `delim` is specified.
Returns
~~~~~~~
* out : decorated iterator.
.. code:: python
def update(self, n=1):
"""

Examples and Advanced Usage
---------------------------
- See the `examples `__
folder;
- import the module and run ``help()``, or
- consult the `wiki `__.
- this has an `excellent article `__ on how to make a **great** progressbar.
Nested progress bars
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``tqdm`` supports nested progress bars. Here's an example:
.. code:: python
from tqdm import trange
from time import sleep
for i in trange(10, desc='1st loop'):
for j in trange(5, desc='2nd loop', leave=False):
for k in trange(100, desc='3nd loop'):
sleep(0.01)
On Windows `colorama `__ will be used if
available to produce a beautiful nested display.
For manual control over positioning (e.g. for multi-threaded use),
you may specify `position=n` where `n=0` for the outermost bar,
`n=1` for the next, and so on.
Hooks and callbacks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``tqdm`` can easily support callbacks/hooks and manual updates.
Here's an example with ``urllib``:
**urllib.urlretrieve documentation**
| [...]
| If present, the hook function will be called once
| on establishment of the network connection and once after each
block read
| thereafter. The hook will be passed three arguments; a count of
blocks
| transferred so far, a block size in bytes, and the total size of
the file.
| [...]
.. code:: python
import urllib
from tqdm import tqdm
def my_hook(t):
"""
Wraps tqdm instance. Don't forget to close() or __exit__()
the tqdm instance once you're done with it (easiest using `with` syntax).
Example
-------
>>> with tqdm(...) as t:
... reporthook = my_hook(t)
... urllib.urlretrieve(..., reporthook=reporthook)
"""
last_b = [0]
def inner(b=1, bsize=1, tsize=None):
"""
b : int, optional
Number of blocks just transferred [default: 1].
bsize : int, optional
Size of each block (in tqdm units) [default: 1].
tsize : int, optional
Total size (in tqdm units). If [default: None] remains unchanged.
"""
if tsize is not None:
t.total = tsize
t.update((b - last_b[0]) * bsize)
last_b[0] = b
return inner
eg_link = 'http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~cod11/matryoshka.zip'
with tqdm(unit='B', unit_scale=True, miniters=1,
desc=eg_link.split('/')[-1]) as t: # all optional kwargs
urllib.urlretrieve(eg_link, filename='/dev/null',
reporthook=my_hook(t), data=None)
It is recommend to use ``miniters=1`` whenever there is potentially
large differences in iteration speed (e.g. downloading a file over
a patchy connection).
Pandas Integration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to popular demand we've added support for ``pandas`` -- here's an example
for ``DataFrame.progress_apply`` and ``DataFrameGroupBy.progress_apply``:
.. code:: python
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from tqdm import tqdm
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0, 100, (100000, 6)))
# Register `pandas.progress_apply` and `pandas.Series.map_apply` with `tqdm`
# (can use `tqdm_gui`, `tqdm_notebook`, optional kwargs, etc.)
tqdm.pandas(desc="my bar!")
# Now you can use `progress_apply` instead of `apply`
# and `progress_map` instead of `map`
df.progress_apply(lambda x: x**2)
# can also groupby:
# df.groupby(0).progress_apply(lambda x: x**2)
In case you're interested in how this works (and how to modify it for your
own callbacks), see the
`examples `__
folder or import the module and run ``help()``.
IPython/Jupyter Integration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IPython/Jupyter is supported via the `tqdm_notebook` submodule:
.. code:: python
from tqdm import tnrange, tqdm_notebook
from time import sleep
for i in tnrange(10, desc='1st loop'):
for j in tqdm_notebook(xrange(100), desc='2nd loop'):
sleep(0.01)
In addition to `tqdm` features, the submodule provides a native Jupyter
widget (compatible with IPython v1-v4 and Jupyter), fully working nested bars
and color hints (blue: normal, green: completed, red: error/interrupt,
light blue: no ETA); as demonstrated below.
|Screenshot-Jupyter1|
|Screenshot-Jupyter2|
|Screenshot-Jupyter3|
Writing messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since ``tqdm`` uses a simple printing mechanism to display progress bars,
you should not write any message in the terminal using ``print()``.
To write messages in the terminal without any collision with ``tqdm`` bar
display, a ``.write()`` method is provided:
.. code:: python
from tqdm import tqdm, trange
from time import sleep
bar = trange(10)
for i in bar:
# Print using tqdm class method .write()
sleep(0.1)
if not (i % 3):
tqdm.write("Done task %i" % i)
# Can also use bar.write()
By default, this will print to standard output ``sys.stdout``. but you can
specify any file-like object using the ``file`` argument. For example, this
can be used to redirect the messages writing to a log file or class.
Redirecting writing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If using a library that can print messages to the console, editing the library
by replacing ``print()`` with ``tqdm.write()`` may not be desirable.
In that case, redirecting ``sys.stdout`` to ``tqdm.write()`` is an option.
To redirect ``sys.stdout``, create a file-like class that will write
any input string to ``tqdm.write()``, and supply the arguments
``file=sys.stdout, dynamic_ncols=True``.
A reusable canonical example is given below:
.. code:: python
from time import sleep
import contextlib
import sys
from tqdm import tqdm
class DummyTqdmFile(object):
"""Dummy file-like that will write to tqdm"""
file = None
def __init__(self, file):
self.file = file
def write(self, x):
# Avoid print() second call (useless \n)
if len(x.rstrip()) > 0:
tqdm.write(x, file=self.file)
@contextlib.contextmanager
def stdout_redirect_to_tqdm():
save_stdout = sys.stdout
try:
sys.stdout = DummyTqdmFile(sys.stdout)
yield save_stdout
# Relay exceptions
except Exception as exc:
raise exc
# Always restore sys.stdout if necessary
finally:
sys.stdout = save_stdout
def blabla():
print("Foo blabla")
# Redirect stdout to tqdm.write() (don't forget the `as save_stdout`)
with stdout_redirect_to_tqdm() as save_stdout:
# tqdm call need to specify sys.stdout, not sys.stderr (default)
# and dynamic_ncols=True to autodetect console width
for _ in tqdm(range(3), file=save_stdout, dynamic_ncols=True):
blabla()
sleep(.5)
# After the `with`, printing is restored
print('Done!')
