You can also use enlighten. The main advantage is you can log at the same time without overwriting your progress bar.

import time
import enlighten

manager = enlighten.Manager()
pbar = manager.counter(total=100)

for num in range(1, 101):
    time.sleep(0.05)
    print('Step %d complete' % num)
    pbar.update()

It also handles multiple progress bars.

import time
import enlighten

manager = enlighten.Manager()
odds = manager.counter(total=50)
evens = manager.counter(total=50)

for num in range(1, 101):
    time.sleep(0.05)
    if num % 2:
        odds.update()
    else:
        evens.update()
