        <div>Use case: I have a collection of Python command line
          utilties that can take up to several minutes to run. These are
          utilities may be called from other applications. Our users

          while they are running.</div>

        <div>Our utilities are very lean right now and easy to

    Stupid question, but since you're using command line utilities, why
    not just use a command line progress bar? This fellow wrote one that
    might work:
