tqdm Objects#

[view source]

class tqdm(Comparable)

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.

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 or float, 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 number, e.g. 9e9.
  • leave: bool, optional
    If [default: True], keeps all traces of the progressbar upon termination of iteration. If None, will leave only if position is 0.
  • 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 or float, 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 and nrows 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, elapsed, elapsed_s, ncols, nrows, desc, unit, rate, rate_fmt, rate_noinv, rate_noinv_fmt, rate_inv, rate_inv_fmt, postfix, unit_divisor, remaining, remaining_s, eta. Note that a trailing ": " is automatically removed after {desc} if the latter is empty.
  • initial: int or float, optional
    The initial counter value. Useful when restarting a progress bar [default: 0]. If using float, consider specifying {n:.3f} or similar in bar_format, or specifying unit_scale.
  • 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
    Whether to write bytes. If (default: False) will write unicode.
  • lock_args: tuple, optional
    Passed to refresh for intermediate output (initialisation, iterating, and updating).
  • nrows: int, optional
    The screen height. If specified, hides nested bars outside this bound. If unspecified, attempts to use environment height. The fallback is 20.
  • colour: str, optional
    Bar colour (e.g. 'green', '00ff00').
  • delay: float, optional
    Don't display until [default: 0] seconds have elapsed.
  • gui: bool, optional
    WARNING: internal parameter - do not use. Use tqdm.gui.tqdm(...) instead. If set, will attempt to use matplotlib animations for a graphical output [default: False].

Returns

  • out: decorated iterator.

Return a string-based progress bar given some parameters

Parameters

  • unit_scale: bool or int or float, optional
    If 1 or True, the number of iterations will be printed with an appropriate SI metric prefix (k = 10^3, M = 10^6, etc.) [default: False]. If any other non-zero number, will scale total and n.

Parameters

  • tqdm_kwargs: arguments for the tqdm instance

Examples

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from tqdm import tqdm
>>> from tqdm.gui import tqdm as tqdm_gui
>>>
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0, 100, (100000, 6)))
>>> tqdm.pandas(ncols=50)  # can use tqdm_gui, optional kwargs, etc
>>> # Now you can use `progress_apply` instead of `apply`
>>> df.groupby(0).progress_apply(lambda x: x**2)

__iter__#

[view source]

def __iter__()

Backward-compatibility to use: for x in tqdm(iterable)

update#

[view source]

def update(n=1)

Manually update the progress bar, useful for streams such as reading files. E.g.:

>>> t = tqdm(total=filesize) # Initialise
>>> for current_buffer in stream:
...    ...
...    t.update(len(current_buffer))
>>> t.close()
The last line is highly recommended, but possibly not necessary if t.update() will be called in such a way that filesize will be exactly reached and printed.

Parameters

  • n: int or float, optional
    Increment to add to the internal counter of iterations [default: 1]. If using float, consider specifying {n:.3f} or similar in bar_format, or specifying unit_scale.

Returns

  • out: bool or None
    True if a display() was triggered.

close#

[view source]

def close()

Cleanup and (if leave=False) close the progressbar.

clear#

[view source]

def clear(nolock=False)

Clear current bar display.

refresh#

[view source]

def refresh(nolock=False, lock_args=None)

Parameters

  • nolock: bool, optional
    If True, does not lock. If [default: False]: calls acquire() on internal lock.
  • lock_args: tuple, optional
    Passed to internal lock's acquire(). If specified, will only display() if acquire() returns True.

unpause#

[view source]

def unpause()

Restart tqdm timer from last print time.

  • method: str, "read" or "write". The result of read() and
    the first argument of write() should have a len().
>>> with tqdm.wrapattr(file_obj, "read", total=file_obj.size) as fobj:
