stdout progress bars don't work in Pycharm

Question

Many programs display progress bars by prnting to stdout and then returning to beginnign of line and pronting again. This way they achieve realtime progress bar appearence.

Unfortunately, in many cases this functionality does not work in PyCharm's console.

This is an example on how it shows keras train progress bar:

i.e. each progress bar change goes to separate line.

Is it possible to fix this?

Answer 2

The only way I managed to get progress bars (I'm using tqdm 4.19.5 for a progress bar, PyCharm Community 2017.3.2 and Anaconda/Python 3.6.3) to work correctly was to uncheck the "Show command line afterwards" option:

The solution posted by Tay2510 (checking the "Emulate terminal in output console" option) didn't work for me.

One downside of my solution is that you lose console access after your script is done running.
