title: How to deal with tqdm / tqdm_notebook in production environment
body: <p>we are developing algorithms using <code>python 3.6</code>, <code>pandas</code>, <code>numpy</code> and others. I'm using <code>jupyter</code> as the mayor tool for developing. We like to use <code>tqdm</code> and <code>tqdm_notebook</code> for understanding how our algorithms are doing. </p>
  
  <p>Once we graduate an algorithm we want to put it into production (to do basically data processing). My question is how to deal with <code>tqdm</code>. Is there a best practice? I don't want to refactor all the scripts and remove <code>tqdm_notebook</code> everywhere. In production, the python code will run on the console, not on jupyter. </p>
  
  <p>thanks for the advice. </p>
