[yt-dev] Notebook progress bar?

[John ZuHone]

There is one issue with that, which is that so far we have resisted making astropy a hard dependency. If we wanted to use their progressbar we'd have to do so (this could always be an on-demand import, I guess).

I like astropy and use it a lot, but I agree that we should keep the number of hard dependencies to an absolute minimum. There's nothing stopping us from looking at that code and implementing it ourselves, I guess...
