urwid VS tqdm

Pretty cool! I actually wrote something VERY similar a couple of years ago: sless[1]. It's a tool for viewing json-based structured logs. Just like your tool, you can explore into a json object. The difference is, it expects the input to have many json objects, newline separated, and it shows few keys as a preview of the object, to make looking for something in the log easier. It's not quite complete but basic browsing works. It was mainly written to learn more about Urwid[2], a library similar to Curses.

In addition to the other great libraries already mentioned, since you're in Python you may want to consider urwid, it's really robust and has a lot of built-ins.

To go full in on the latter case, people often use libraries like Cursive (akin to urwid for Python but without the horrendously confusing error messages caused duck typing) or tui.

If you have experience with text user interfaces in the past, you might come across other frameworks such as urwid, curtsies, asciimatics, prompt-toolkit to name a few. Nevertheless, If you have not, you are just fine because you are in the right place to learn about TUIs in general and using Textual specifically. I’ll show you how to develop a wordle clone step by step.

Check also urwid. It's more likely a modern text-based interface library for Python. https://github.com/urwid/urwid

Curses seems difficult to use but you should investigate whether it works with what you want to do. https://urwid.org/ seems fun as an alternative.

urwid is Python, and looks good.

yeah my code needs to use multiprocessing, which does not play nice with tqdm. thanks for the tip about positions though, that helped me search more effectively and came up with two promising comments. unmerged / require some workarounds, but might just work:

> Like tqdm (Python progressbar library) but as a Unix utility.

FYI: tqdm can be used in a shell pipeline as well. It's documented (at least) in their readme: https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm#module

BTW, my inspiration was https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm library for python and any contribution is welcome to add similar functionality.

I can recommend you the package tqdm (https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm) You can replace the standard for statement with it, or use it with any other iterable. By default, it gives you a progress bar with a percentage and ETA, but you can also configure it to only print the percentage, if you want that. If you want to use print statements, adding \r at the beginning and not putting a line end should also do the trick.

you try to run an python script that requires the tqdm package and also a regex package (what normally should be installed, when installing python). Blender tries to install these packages without success. You probably have to do it on your own by installing them in your pythons virtual environment.

If OP is using python that might be the output of python's tqdm.

I have a client-server socket program where the server sends a file to the client. The server is designed to allow multiple clients using threading. For the file transfer on the client, I am using the tqdm library (https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm).
