It updates efficiently at a throttled rate to keep CPU usage low during high-iteration workloads, and automatically enriches print and logging statements with the current bar position. The library includes a unique pause mechanism that lets you suspend processing, return to the Python prompt to inspect or fix items, and then resume from exactly where you left off.\n\nThe package is built on two runtime dependencies: about-time for elapsed time tracking and graphemeu for proper Unicode grapheme handling in terminal output. It supports modern Python versions from 3.9 through 3.14 and is actively maintained. The bar is highly customizable with multiple built-in spinner and bar styles, and includes factories to create custom animations. It also detects under- and overflow conditions, allowing you to track counts beyond actual iterations.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is stable, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem\u2014showing progress with pause/resume capability that no other Python progress bar offers. Low install friction and permissive licensing make it a straightforward add to any project needing terminal progress feedback."},"id":"alive-progress","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/alive-progress","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/alive-progress.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/alive-progress/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"alive-progress","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A new kind of Progress Bar, with real-time throughput, ETA, and very cool animations!"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3826695,"position":2487,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.3.0"}
