Add progress log

[ensonario]

It would be nice to report some intermediate calculation progress as log info messages. For large data the process can be relatively long and progress info will help.

That sounds like a very sensible thing to do. I am not really an expert on the best way to do that -- ideally I want to be compatible with both script usage, and usage inside Jupyter and look good in both. I would welcome suggestions on how best to do that.

You can use standard python logger, example from gensim: https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/blob/develop/gensim/models/ldamodel.py#L652

Thanks, that looks like the sort of thing I need! I'll see if I can get something like that integrated soon.

I would be willing to implement a first pass at this.

That would be greatly appreciated! Pull requests more than welcome.
