A progress bar for scikit-learn?

Many models support a verbose argument which gives progress (and sometimes an indication on the rate of convergence).

e.g.

clf = MLPClassifier(verbose=True)

(see MLPClassifier )

If you have a loop outside of the learning model, I recommend tqdm.

If you initialize the model with verbose=1 before calling fit you should get some kind of output indicating the progress.

For example sklearn.ensemble.GradientBoostingClassifer(verbose=1) provides progress output that looks like this:
