alive-progress is a Python library providing animated terminal progress bars with live spinners, real-time throughput, and ETA estimation. It features multithreaded updates with low CPU usage and supports pausing/resuming from the REPL.

Use cases

  • show a progress bar for long-running python loops
  • display eta and throughput in the terminal
  • add animated spinner to cli scripts
  • monitor progress of remote ssh jobs
  • pause processing and resume from python repl

When to choose

  • you need a visually rich terminal progress bar in python
  • you want accurate eta and throughput stats
  • you need low-overhead updates for fast iterations

When to avoid

  • you need progress bars in gui or web applications
  • you need a tui framework with full layout control
  • your output environment doesn't support terminal control codes
