there's no way to do this without sending more stuff to stdout than you
see; however, it's easy to *disable* the spinner if you're redirecting the
output. hint:
$ python -c "import sys; print sys.stdout.isatty ()"
True
$ python -c "import sys; print sys.stdout.isatty()" >out
$ more out
False
</F>
Thanks, that will do nicely. It will be sufficient to do this testing using isatty() and have the progress bar or spinner.
