a class-level tqdm.set_postfix_str() / status message #1794

tqdm has tqdm.write(), for the purpose of printing without interfering with existing progress bars. It is class-level, so callers don't have to have the tqdm object.

However, this can get verbose when you want to print the current status ("Compiling x...").

I think tqdm should have a class-level function that transiently shows a text that is removed when the next status message is set, or when the progress bar starts progressing.

You can find a workaround implementation here:
