progress_bar = tqdm(total=total_iterations, desc="Progress", bar_format="{l_bar}{bar}{r_bar}")

iteration = 0
while iteration < total_iterations:
    time.sleep(1)
    progress_bar.update(1)
    iteration += 1

progress_bar.close()

Progress:   0%|          | 0/5 [00:00<?, ?it/s]

Progress:  80%|████████  | 4/5 [00:04<00:01,  1.01s/it]
Progress: 100%|██████████| 5/5 [00:05<00:00,  1.01s/it]

There is a lot you can do with the progress bar like setting the bar height, width, multiprocessing, changing color, text, and animation, for that you can follow the documentation on GitHub.
