tqdm in Jupyter Notebook prints new progress bars repeatedly

Question

I am using tqdm to print progress in a script I\'m running in a Jupyter notebook. I am printing all messages to the console via tqdm.write(). Howev

Answer 1

If the other tips here don't work and - just like me - you're using the pandas integration through progress_apply, you can let tqdm handle it:

from tqdm.autonotebook import tqdm
tqdm.pandas()

df.progress_apply(row_function, axis=1)

The main point here lies in the tqdm.autonotebook module. As stated in their instructions for use in IPython Notebooks, this makes tqdm choose between progress bar formats used in Jupyter notebooks and Jupyter consoles - for a reason still lacking further investigations on my side, the specific format chosen by tqdm.autonotebook works smoothly in pandas, while all others didn't, for progress_apply specifically.
