<@Glinda> hmmm - thanks. that would probably require me to get into the `tqdm` code which i don't really want to do. it's not a huge deal, i just like to see it printed in the terminal when i'm at my desk but it makes my logs look like shit :slightly_smiling_face:

Looks like, in bash you use carriage return for the same line, test it with this. ```echo -n "Old line" echo -e "\r new line"```
