What is this Python project?

Easily add progress bars to python and console scripts.

What's the difference between this project and similar ones?

• negligible overhead
• easily extensible/customisable
• displays intelligent estimated time remaining
• works in notebooks as well as raw terminal/console in Linux/Mac/Win
• #1 trending on GitHub (Dec 2015)
• #1 rated tag:progressbar on GitHub
• (more than scipy)
• (similar to matplotlib)

thanks @vinta - not sure whether putting it under "Command-line Interface Development" is fully appropriate though.

It could be:

1. Command-line Interface Development or Debugging Tools

from tqdm import tqdm
for i in tqdm(range(100)):
  pass

2. Command-line Tools

cat *.txt | tqdm | wc -l

3. Some other section regarding the fact that it's also usable in Jupyter (displaying a progressbar widget)

@casperdcl What is your suggestion?

@vinta no suggestion really - was wondering if you may have suggestions about what to do about libraries which fall into multiple categories.
