It solves the problem of displaying progress feedback while still allowing normal print() and logging calls to stdout and stderr without requiring output redirection or special handling. The library depends on blessed for terminal control, prefixed for unit formatting, and backports.functools-lru-cache for compatibility.\n\nThe typical workflow is to create a manager via get_manager(), then call methods like counter() or status_bar() to create individual progress indicators. Multiple bars can run concurrently, and they automatically disable themselves when output is not attached to a TTY. The library supports color, multicolored bars to track multiple categories, and custom formatting of bar appearance.","worth_installing":"Yes. Enlighten is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and solves a real problem\u2014displaying progress without disrupting normal output. The MPLv2.0 copyleft license is permissive for most use cases. Install it if you need terminal progress bars in a Python CLI or batch tool."},"id":"enlighten","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/enlighten","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/enlighten.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/enlighten/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-03-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"enlighten","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Enlighten Progress Bar"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":870463,"position":4848,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.14.1"}
