Python progressbar does not display

I've got this function that takes some time to complete and I'd like to display the current progress per element in the list.

This is how it's coded:

import progressbar

def func(self):
    bar = progressbar.ProgressBar(
        maxval=len(some_list),
        widgets=[progressbar.Bar('=', '[', ']'), ' ', progressbar.Percentage()]
    )
    progress = 0
    bar.start()
    for r in some_list:
        #heavy calculation
        progress += 1
        bar.update(progress)
    bar.finish()

Yet when I run, the progressbar isn't displayed (nothing in fact is), the function just does its thing and when the function ends 20 seconds later I suddenly get the full bar in the console

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using Kubuntu latest version with python 3.7.4 and PyCharm.

Consider running it not from an IDE, sometimes they get a messy std output. Just run it with plain python like this:

python3 your_script.py
