Using tqdm progress bar in a while loop

问题

I am making a code that simulates a pawn going around a monopoly board a million times. I would like to have a tqdm progress bar that is updated every time a turn around the board is achieved.

Below is my current code. I am using a while loop which stops when the number of turns around the board surpasses the desired number.

import os
from openpyxl import Workbook
from monopolyfct import *


def main(runs, fileOutput):

    ### EXCEL SETUP ###
    theWorkbook = Workbook()                              # Creates the workbook interface.
    defaultSheet = theWorkbook.active                     # Creates the used worksheet.
    currentData = ["Current Table Turn", "Current Tile"]  # Makes EXCEL column titles.
    defaultSheet.append(currentData)                      # Appends column titles.

    ### CONTENT SETUP ###
    currentData = [1, 0]             # Sets starting position.
    defaultSheet.append(currentData) # Appends starting position.

    while currentData[0] <= runs:

        ### ROLLING THE DICES PROCESS ###
        dices = twinDiceRoll()
        currentData[1] += dices[2]  # Updating the current tile

        ### SURPASSING THE NUMBER OF TILES ONBOARD ###
        if currentData[1] > 37:   # If more than a table turn is achieved,
            currentData[0] += 1   # One more turn is registered
            currentData[1] -= 38  # Update the tile to one coresponding to a board tile.
        else:
            pass

        ### APPENDING AQUIRED DATA ###
        defaultSheet.append(currentData)

        ### MANAGIING SPECIAL TILES ###
        if currentData[1] == 2 or 15 or 31:   # Community chess
            pass                              #TODO: Make a mechanic simulating the community chest card draw and it's related action.
        elif currentData[1] == 5 or 20 or 34: # Chance
            pass                              #TODO: Make a mechanic simulating the chance card draw and it's related action.
        elif currentData[1] == 28:            # Go to Jail
            pass                              #TODO: Make a mechanic simulating the entire jail process

        ### TWIN DICE ROLL EXCEPTION ###
        if dices[3] is True:  # If the dices roll a double,
            pass              #TODO: Make a mechanic considering that three doubles sends one to Jail.


    ### STORING THE ACCUMULATED DATA ###
    theWorkbook.save(fileOutput)  # Compiles the data in a .xlxs file.


if __name__ == "__main__":
    terminalWidth = os.get_terminal_size().columns                                               # Gets current terminal width.
    space(3)
    print("Python Monopoly Statistics Renderer".upper().center(terminalWidth))                   # Prints the title.
    print("(PMSR)".center(terminalWidth))                                                        # Prints the acronym.
    space(2)
    runs = int(request("For how many table turns do you want the simulation to run?"))           # Prompts for the desired run ammount
    #runs = 1000
    fileOutput = request("What should be the name of the file in which statistics are stored?")  # Prompts for the desired store filename
    #fileOutput = "test"
    fileOutput += ".xlsx"                                                                        # Adds file extension to filename
    main(runs, fileOutput)

You can use manual control in tqdm by specifying a total argument in the constructor. Verbatim from the manual:

from tqdm import tqdm

pbar = tqdm(total=100)
for i in range(10):
    pbar.update(10)
pbar.close()

For this to work you need to know the total number of expected runs. In your code it could look something like

...
pbar = tqdm(total = runs+1)
while currentData[0] <= runs:

    ### ROLLING THE DICES PROCESS ###
    dices = twinDiceRoll()
    currentData[1] += dices[2]  # Updating the current tile

    ### SURPASSING THE NUMBER OF TILES ONBOARD ###
    if currentData[1] > 37:   # If more than a table turn is achieved,
        currentData[0] += 1   # One more turn is registered
        currentData[1] -= 38  # Update the tile to one coresponding to a board tile.
        pbar.update(1)
    else:
        pass
...
pbar.close()

However, this code isn't perfect: consider if the currentData[1] is always less than 37 -- the progress bar will just stop and not update. If you try to update it in the else:... part, you might violate the total upper bound. This is a start tho :)
