Generally I like it, but ...

> +        self.ui.status('\033[K')

and maybe even

> +        self.ui.status('\r', self.activity, ': ', self.donechar * d,
> +                       self.leftchar * l)

and

> +        self.ui.status('\r', self.activity, ': ', self.donechar * self.ncols,
> +                       _(' %d%%, %d %s, %s secs') %
> +                       (frac * 100, self.nsteps, self.items,
> +                        self.time(elapsed)))

depend on your terminal capabilities.

What do other python programs here?
