mqdm

Pretty, worker-aware progress bars for Python.

mqdm keeps a tqdm-like feel, but is designed to work seamlessly across parallel workers.

Install

pip install mqdm

Quick look

import time
import mqdm

for folder in mqdm.mqdm(["cats", "clouds", "notes"], desc="indexing"):
    for _ in mqdm.mqdm(range(5), desc=lambda _, i: f"{folder} · file {i + 1}"):
        time.sleep(0.05)

In parallel:

import time
import mqdm

def do_work(folder):
    for _ in mqdm.mqdm(range(5), desc=lambda _, i: f"{folder} · file {i + 1}"):
        time.sleep(0.05)

def main():
    mqdm.pool(do_work, ["cats", "clouds", "notes"], desc="indexing", n_workers=3)
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
