p_tqdm: Parallel Processing with Progress Bars

p_tqdm is a Python library that simplifies parallel processing by wrapping `pathos.multiprocessing` with `tqdm` progress bars. It provides a flexible parallel map functionality, supporting lambda functions, nested functions, and class methods, while displaying a clear progress bar with estimated time to completion. The library is actively maintained, with version 1.4.2 being the current release as of August 2024, and receives updates to ensure compatibility and address issues.
