Create dynamically updatable progress bar

Hi!

Sometimes calculations takes a long time, and it'll be very useful to know the progress. A simple example:

from time import sleep

def slow_calculations():
    for i in range(10):
        sleep(0.5)
        print 'Complete',(i+1)*10,'%'
    print 'Done'

Such indication of process was my first solution. Is is possible somehow to draw a progress bar and update it's value during the calculations? Something like that:

def slow_calculations(bar):
    for i in range(10):
        sleep(0.5)
        bar.value = (i+1)*10

progressBar= ProgressBar()
progressBar.show()
slow_calculations(progressBar)

Indeed; you can also google for some more sophisticated progress bars implemented in Python.

Text progress bar is nice solution.. yet something graphical, which can be used within notebook is still desired.
