``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!

.. code:: python

    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))``.

    REPL: `ptpython <https://github.com/jonathanslenders/ptpython>`__

It can also be executed as a module with pipes:

.. code:: sh

    $ 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 <https://github.com/niltonvolpato/python-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.

``tqdm`` does not require any dependencies (not even ``curses``!), just
Python 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

    from tqdm import tqdm
    import time

    text = ""
    for char in tqdm(["a", "b", "c", "d"]):
        time.sleep(0.25)
        text = text + char

``trange(i)`` is a special optimised instance of ``tqdm(range(i))``:

.. code:: python

    for i in trange(100):
        time.sleep(0.01)

Instantiation outside of the loop allows for manual control over ``tqdm()``:

.. code:: python

    pbar = tqdm(["a", "b", "c", "d"])
    for char in pbar:
        time.sleep(0.25)
        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):
            time.sleep(0.1)
            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):
        time.sleep(0.1)
        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' -type f -exec cat \{} \; | wc -l
    857365

    real    0m3.458s
    user    0m0.274s
    sys     0m3.325s

    $ time find . -name '*.py' -type f -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' -type f -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]


FAQ and Known Issues
--------------------

|GitHub-Issues|

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 <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/191#issuecomment-230168030>`__,
      `ConEmu <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/254>`__ and
      `PyCharm <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/203>`__ (also
      `here <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/208>`__,
      `here <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/307>`__, and
      `here <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/454#issuecomment-335416815>`__)
      lack full support.
    * Windows: additionally may require the Python module ``colorama``
      to ensure nested bars stay within their respective lines.
- Unicode:
    * Environments which report that they support unicode will have solid smooth
      progressbars. The fallback is an ```ascii``-only bar.
    * Windows consoles often only partially support unicode and thus
      `often require explicit ascii=True <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/454#issuecomment-335416815>`__
      (also `here <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/499>`__). This is due to
      either normal-width unicode characters being incorrectly displayed as
      "wide", or some unicode characters not rendering.
- 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.
- Wrapping zipped iterables has similar issues due to internal optimisations.
  ``tqdm(zip(a, b))`` should be replaced with ``zip(tqdm(a), b)`` or even
  ``zip(tqdm(a), tqdm(b))``.
- `Hanging pipes in python2 <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/359>`__:
  when using ``tqdm`` on the CLI, you may need to use python 3.5+ for correct
  buffering.

    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=None, 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,
                   postfix=None, unit_divisor=1000):

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 unspecified,
    len(iterable) is used if possible. If float("inf") or 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.  For encoding, see ``write_bytes``.
* 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 display update interval [default: 0.1] seconds.
* maxinterval  : float, optional  
    Maximum progress display update interval [default: 10] seconds.
    Automatically adjusts ``miniters`` to correspond to ``mininterval``
    after long display update lag. Only works if ``dynamic_miniters``
    or monitor thread is enabled.
* miniters  : int, optional  
    Minimum progress display update interval, in iterations.
    If 0 and ``dynamic_miniters``, will automatically adjust to equal
    ``mininterval`` (more CPU efficient, good for tight loops).
    If > 0, will skip display of specified number of iterations.
    Tweak this and ``mininterval`` to get very efficient loops.
    If your progress is erratic with both fast and slow iterations
    (network, skipping items, etc) you should set miniters=1.
* ascii  : bool or str, optional  
    If unspecified or False, use unicode (smooth blocks) to fill
    the meter. The fallback is to use ASCII characters " 123456789#".
* disable  : bool, optional  
    Whether to disable the entire progressbar wrapper
    [default: False]. If set to None, disable on non-TTY.
* unit  : str, optional  
    String that will be used to define the unit of each iteration
    [default: it].
* unit_scale  : bool or int or float, optional  
    If 1 or True, 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]. If any other non-zero
    number, will scale ``total`` and ``n``.
* 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.
    [default: '{l_bar}{bar}{r_bar}'], where
    l_bar='{desc}: {percentage:3.0f}%|' and
    r_bar='| {n_fmt}/{total_fmt} [{elapsed}<{remaining}, '
    '{rate_fmt}{postfix}]'
    Possible vars: l_bar, bar, r_bar, n, n_fmt, total, total_fmt,
    percentage, rate, rate_fmt, rate_noinv, rate_noinv_fmt,
    rate_inv, rate_inv_fmt, elapsed, elapsed_s, remaining,
    remaining_s, desc, postfix, unit.
    Note that a trailing ": " is automatically removed after {desc}
    if the latter is empty.
* 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).
* postfix  : dict or ``*``, optional  
    Specify additional stats to display at the end of the bar.
    Calls ``set_postfix(**postfix)`` if possible (dict).
* unit_divisor  : float, optional  
    [default: 1000], ignored unless ``unit_scale`` is True.
* write_bytes  : bool, optional  
    If (default: None) and ``file`` is unspecified,
    bytes will be written in Python 2. If ``True`` will also write
    bytes. In all other cases will default to unicode.

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.
* bytes  : bool, optional  
    If true, will count bytes, ignore ``delim``, and default
    ``unit_scale`` to True, ``unit_divisor`` to 1024, and ``unit`` to 'B'.
* manpath  : str, optional  
    Directory in which to install tqdm man pages.
* log  : str, optional  
    CRITICAL|FATAL|ERROR|WARN(ING)|[default: 'INFO']|DEBUG|NOTSET.

Returns
~~~~~~~

* out  : decorated iterator.

Description and additional stats
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Custom information can be displayed and updated dynamically on ``tqdm`` bars
with the ``desc`` and ``postfix`` arguments:

.. code:: python

    from tqdm import trange
    from random import random, randint
    from time import sleep

    with trange(10) as t:
        for i in t:
            # Description will be displayed on the left
            t.set_description('GEN %i' % i)
            # Postfix will be displayed on the right,
            # formatted automatically based on argument's datatype
            t.set_postfix(loss=random(), gen=randint(1,999), str='h',
                          lst=[1, 2])
            sleep(0.1)

    with tqdm(total=10, bar_format="{postfix[0]} {postfix[1][value]:>8.2g}",
              postfix=["Batch", dict(value=0)]) as t:
        for i in range(10):
            sleep(0.1)
            t.postfix[1]["value"] = i / 2
            t.update()

Points to remember when using ``{postfix[...]}`` in the ``bar_format`` string:

- ``postfix`` also needs to be passed as an initial argument in a compatible
  format, and
- ``postfix`` will be auto-converted to a string if it is a ``dict``-like
  object. To prevent this behaviour, insert an extra item into the dictionary
  where the key is not a string.

Additional ``bar_format`` parameters may also be defined by overriding
``format_dict``, and the bar itself may be modified using ``ascii``:

.. code:: python

    from tqdm import tqdm
    class TqdmExtraFormat(tqdm):
        """Provides a `total_time` format parameter"""
        @property
        def format_dict(self):
            d = super(TqdmExtraFormat, self).format_dict
            total_time = d["elapsed"] * (d["total"] or 0) / max(d["n"], 1)
            d.update(total_time=self.format_interval(total_time) + " in total")
            return d

    for i in TqdmExtraFormat(
          range(10), ascii=" .oO0",
          bar_format="{total_time}: {percentage:.0f}%|{bar}{r_bar}"):
        pass

.. code::

    00:01 in total: 40%|000o     | 4/10 [00:00<00:00,  9.96it/s]

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(4, desc='1st loop'):
        for j in trange(5, desc='2nd loop'):
            for k in trange(50, desc='3nd loop', leave=False):
                sleep(0.01)

On Windows `colorama <https://github.com/tartley/colorama>`__ will be used if
available to keep nested bars on their respective lines.

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:

.. code:: python

    from time import sleep
    from tqdm import trange, tqdm
    from multiprocessing import Pool, freeze_support, RLock

    L = list(range(9))

    def progresser(n):
        interval = 0.001 / (n + 2)
        total = 5000
        text = "#{}, est. {:<04.2}s".format(n, interval * total)
        for i in trange(total, desc=text, position=n):
            sleep(interval)

    if __name__ == '__main__':
        freeze_support()  # for Windows support
        p = Pool(len(L),
                 # again, for Windows support
                 initializer=tqdm.set_lock, initargs=(RLock(),))
        p.map(progresser, L)
        print("\n" * (len(L) - 2))

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, os
    from tqdm import tqdm

    class TqdmUpTo(tqdm):
        """Provides `update_to(n)` which uses `tqdm.update(delta_n)`."""
        def update_to(self, b=1, bsize=1, tsize=None):
            """
            b  : int, optional
                Number of blocks transferred so far [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:
                self.total = tsize
            self.update(b * bsize - self.n)  # will also set self.n = b * bsize

    eg_link = "https://caspersci.uk.to/matryoshka.zip"
    with TqdmUpTo(unit='B', unit_scale=True, miniters=1,
                  desc=eg_link.split('/')[-1]) as t:  # all optional kwargs
        urllib.urlretrieve(eg_link, filename=os.devnull,
                           reporthook=t.update_to, data=None)

Inspired by `twine#242 <https://github.com/pypa/twine/pull/242>`__.
Functional alternative in
`examples/tqdm_wget.py <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/blob/master/examples/tqdm_wget.py>`__.

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 <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/tree/master/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(3, desc='1st loop'):
        for j in tqdm_notebook(range(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 colour hints (blue: normal, green: completed, red: error/interrupt,
light blue: no ETA); as demonstrated below.

|Screenshot-Jupyter1|
|Screenshot-Jupyter2|
|Screenshot-Jupyter3|

It is also possible to let ``tqdm`` automatically choose between
console or notebook versions by using the ``autonotebook`` submodule:

.. code:: python

    from tqdm.autonotebook import tqdm
    tqdm.pandas()

Note that this will issue a ``TqdmExperimentalWarning`` if run in a notebook
since it is not meant to be possible to distinguish between ``jupyter notebook``
and ``jupyter console``. Use ``auto`` instead of ``autonotebook`` to suppress
this warning.

Custom Integration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

``tqdm`` may be inherited from to create custom callbacks (as with the
``TqdmUpTo`` example `above <#hooks-and-callbacks>`__) or for custom frontends
(e.g. GUIs such as notebook or plotting packages). In the latter case:

1. ``def __init__()`` to call ``super().__init__(..., gui=True)`` to disable
   terminal ``status_printer`` creation.
2. Redefine: ``close()``, ``clear()``, ``display()``.

Consider overloading ``display()`` to use e.g.
``self.frontend(**self.format_dict)`` instead of ``self.sp(repr(self))``.

Dynamic Monitor/Meter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can use a ``tqdm`` as a meter which is not monotonically increasing.
This could be because ``n`` decreases (e.g. a CPU usage monitor) or ``total``
changes.

One example would be recursively searching for files. The ``total`` is the
number of objects found so far, while ``n`` is the number of those objects which
are files (rather than folders):

.. code:: python

    from tqdm import tqdm
    import os.path

    def find_files_recursively(path, show_progress=True):
        files = []
        # total=1 assumes `path` is a file
        t = tqdm(total=1, unit="file", disable=not show_progress)
        if not os.path.exists(path):
            raise IOError("Cannot find:" + path)

        def append_found_file(f):
            files.append(f)
            t.update()

        def list_found_dir(path):
            """returns os.listdir(path) assuming os.path.isdir(path)"""
            listing = os.listdir(path)
            # subtract 1 since a "file" we found was actually this directory
            t.total += len(listing) - 1
            # fancy way to give info without forcing a refresh
            t.set_postfix(dir=path[-10:], refresh=False)
            t.update(0)  # may trigger a refresh
            return listing

        def recursively_search(path):
            if os.path.isdir(path):
                for f in list_found_dir(path):
                    recursively_search(os.path.join(path, f))
            else:
                append_found_file(path)

        recursively_search(path)
        t.set_postfix(dir=path)
        t.close()
        return files

Using ``update(0)`` is a handy way to let ``tqdm`` decide when to trigger a
display refresh to avoid console spamming.

Writing messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a work in progress (see
`#737 <https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/issues/737>`__).

Since ``tqdm`` uses a simple printing mechanism to display progress bars,
you should not write any message in the terminal using ``print()`` while
a progressbar is open.

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)

        def flush(self):
            return getattr(self.file, "flush", lambda: None)()

    @contextlib.contextmanager
    def std_out_err_redirect_tqdm():
        orig_out_err = sys.stdout, sys.stderr
        try:
            sys.stdout, sys.stderr = map(DummyTqdmFile, orig_out_err)
            yield orig_out_err[0]
        # Relay exceptions
        except Exception as exc:
            raise exc
        # Always restore sys.stdout/err if necessary
        finally:
            sys.stdout, sys.stderr = orig_out_err

    def some_fun(i):
        print("Fee, fi, fo,".split()[i])

    # Redirect stdout to tqdm.write() (don't forget the `as save_stdout`)
    with std_out_err_redirect_tqdm() as orig_stdout:
        # tqdm needs the original stdout
        # and dynamic_ncols=True to autodetect console width
        for i in tqdm(range(3), file=orig_stdout, dynamic_ncols=True):
            sleep(.5)
            some_fun(i)

    # After the `with`, printing is restored
    print("Done!")

Monitoring thread, intervals and miniters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

``tqdm`` implements a few tricks to to increase efficiency and reduce overhead.

- Avoid unnecessary frequent bar refreshing: ``mininterval`` defines how long
  to wait between each refresh. ``tqdm`` always gets updated in the background,
  but it will diplay only every ``mininterval``.
- Reduce number of calls to check system clock/time.
- ``mininterval`` is more intuitive to configure than ``miniters``.
  A clever adjustment system ``dynamic_miniters`` will automatically adjust
  ``miniters`` to the amount of iterations that fit into time ``mininterval``.
  Essentially, ``tqdm`` will check if it's time to print without actually
  checking time. This behaviour can be still be bypassed by manually setting
  ``miniters``.

However, consider a case with a combination of fast and slow iterations.
After a few fast iterations, ``dynamic_miniters`` will set ``miniters`` to a
large number. When iteration rate subsequently slows, ``miniters`` will
remain large and thus reduce display update frequency. To address this:

- ``maxinterval`` defines the maximum time between display refreshes.
  A concurrent monitoring thread checks for overdue updates and forces one
  where necessary.

The monitoring thread should not have a noticeable overhead, and guarantees
updates at least every 10 seconds by default.
This value can be directly changed by setting the ``monitor_interval`` of
any ``tqdm`` instance (i.e. ``t = tqdm.tqdm(...); t.monitor_interval = 2``).
The monitor thread may be disabled application-wide by setting
``tqdm.tqdm.monitor_interval = 0`` before instantiatiation of any ``tqdm`` bar.
