Breaks with tqdm

[joshuagruenstein]

For some reason, tqdm and seashells do not play nice. This is sad, as tqdm is nice for monitoring large training batches.

I assume with "do not play nice" you mean that tqdm output does not appear on your seashells page. If you just run

$ somecommand | seashells

only the stdout stream is piped to seashells. By default tqdm does not write to stdout but to stderr, so to make your progress bars appear on seashells, you will either have to pass file=sys.stdout to tqdm, for example:

import sys
import time
from tqdm import tqdm
for _ in tqdm(range(100), file=sys.stdout)):
    time.sleep(0.1)

or alternatively, pipe both stdout and stderr to seashells in your shell:

$ somecommand 2>&1 | seashells
