#### A fast, extensible CLI progress bar

<https://tqdm.github.io>

`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 and stats - just replace any pipe "`|`" with "`| tqdm |`", and you're done!

```
$ 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.

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, just
an environment supporting `carriage return \r` and
`line feed \n` control characters.
