You can just use tqdm() and print the progress of the number of files being extracted:

import tarfile
from tqdm import tqdm

# open your tar.gz file
with tarfile.open(name=path) as tar:

    # Go over each member
    for member in tqdm(iterable=tar.getmembers(), total=len(tar.getmembers())):

        # Extract member
        tar.extract(member=member)
