Version numbers, system and environment

>>> import tqdm, sys

Issue
(originally a customer issue in googleapis/python-bigquery-pandas#613)
After using tqdm.close(), a thread by TMonitor remains open. When I set tqdm.tqdm.monitor_interval = 0, TMonitor is disabled and thus does not start a new thread. Reproduction code:

import tqdm
import threading

def print_active_threads():
    for item in threading.enumerate():
        print(item)

# Uncomment this line results in no TMonitor thread
# tqdm.tqdm.monitor_interval = 0 

print("before tqdm")
print_active_threads()

numbers = list(range(3))
pbar = tqdm.tqdm(numbers)

for _ in pbar:
    pass

pbar.close()

print("after tqdm")
print_active_threads()

Output:

before tqdm
<_MainThread(MainThread, started 139831307290432)>
100%|████████████████████████████████████| 3/3 [00:00<00:00, 68015.74it/s]
