  import tqdm, sys
  print(tqdm.__version__, sys.version, sys.platform)

Measuring progress is not always a matter of counting items. It can also refer to some floating point number that increases (hopefully somewhat linearly) with time. It appears the tqdm.update() method is the way tqdm supports this, which in that case takes a delta of a floating point number. Adding up such deltas lead to floating point errors causing the TqdmWarning: clamping frac to range [0, 1] (see issue #999). There ought to be a method which sets tqdm.n directly, because often relevant applications will have the value of the floating point number itself, instead of just the deltas. This also lets the user avoid the warning.
