This is nice if you have non-homogeneous tasks that need updating as different parts of the code are reached; for showing a progress bar when performing work on an iterable, tqdm seems simpler as it’s just one function call wrapping the iterable : https://pypi.org/project/tqdm/

Tqdm also has a “manual update” mode as a context manager, which looks comparable to lowbar.

tqdm also supports Jupyter Notebooks, which is really nice.

And it has no dependencies

Thanks for the feedback! I was going for something different from already available loading bars, giving users maximum control while keeping the code base small.

This started as a quick little experiment with sys.stdout, but turned into something somewhat useful!

tqdm (Arabic word taqaddum — "progress") reminds Z'Ha'Dum from Babylon 5 https://youtu.be/jdoZvo8j6tc
