tqdm in Jupyter

[mkhorton]

Should from tqdm import tqdm_notebook as tqdm when running inside Jupyter to avoid writing a billion progress bars. I'm not sure the cleanest way to check if running inside Jupyter however -- there seem to be a few options, none of them great.

I've used get_ipython in the past to check for an interactive ipython (Jupyter) environment. So maybe something like the following could work here:

from IPython import get_ipython
ipython = get_ipython()
if ipython is not None:
    from tqdm import tqdm_notebook as tqdm

HTH

get_ipython will be True even if running from ipython command line no? so it's not Jupyter specific

[mkhorton]

The one thing I've found is get_ipython().config does return a dict with a IPKernelApp key if running inside Jupyter, but I'm not sure if that's guaranteed or not.

Done via #34. Thanks @mkhorton!
