How to Fix tqdm Not Displaying Progress Bar in Atom

If you've been trying to use the tqdm module to show progress bars in your Python applications while coding in Atom, you might have encountered a frustrating issue. Many users have reported that when they run their progress bar code, the tqdm module does not display the expected progress bar output. Instead, they see a message like [Finished in 0.121s] with no visual feedback on the progress of the loop. Let's dive into the issue and walk through the solution step by step.

Understanding the Problem

You may have tried the following code:

When executed in Atom, this code does not provide the progress bar in the console output. Users often notice this functionality works fine in other environments like IDLE, leading them to wonder whether the issue stems from Atom or their own coding.

Common Error Observed

After modifying your code, you might have encountered a NameError indicating that the name 'time' is not defined:

Instead of resolving the issue, this change may lead to no output at all when running from Atom.

The Solution

The good news is that there is a simple fix to get tqdm working as intended in Atom. Let's break it down into clear steps:

Step 1: Import the Required Module Correctly

When using the sleep function, avoid importing it separately if you plan to use the full time module. As you're already importing sleep directly, you do not need to prefix it with time.. Your code should look like this:

By only using sleep(0.5) instead of time.sleep(0.5), your code will correctly call the sleep function that has been imported earlier in your script.

Step 2: Running the Code in Atom

Once you've adjusted your code, run it in Atom again. You should now see the progress bar displayed in the console, showing the progress of the loop as it runs, rather than just the completion message.

Additional Tips

Console Support: Ensure that you're using a version of Atom that supports tqdm correctly. If you still experience issues, you may want to consider using an alternative terminal or IDE to run your Python scripts, such as PyCharm, VSCode, or IDLE.

Keep Modules Updated: Sometimes, issues can arise from using outdated libraries. Make sure your tqdm library is updated by running:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to get your progress bars working seamlessly in Atom. The key takeaway here is to ensure you're using the correct function references and to check compatibility with your development environment. Happy coding with tqdm!
